8/13/13 - Today marks the Howell Theaterâs official farewell and a celebration featuring unique concessions and the showing of two iconic 80â²s movies are planned. The Root Restaurant in White Lake plans to open up its second location in the old theater building but before renovations really begin, a special celebration has been planned for the community. Chef James Rigato, a Howell native, says the theater has had a great run and theyâre excited about their plans for Howell so the showing is a great way to mark both occasions. The theater has two separate screens and Rigato says they wanted to utilize both and show something with a vintage 80âs feel but getting the same movie was difficult so they ultimately decided it would be fun to allow attendees their own pick between Back to the Future and The Breakfast Club. All concessions will be provided by The Root and included with the ticket price. In addition to the traditional candy, popcorn and pop; Rigato says a spread of cured and smoked meats, sausages, mustards and pickles will be offered along with pork and grits and a watermelon salad. Seating is first come, first served and tickets can be purchased through The Root or the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce. 10% of ticket sales will also be donated to the Howell Downtown Development Authority to help further revitalization efforts.
