Make contact with 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' at Lucas Theatre screening

  • Luas Theatre for the Arts 32 Abercorn Street Savannah, GA 31401 (map)


Gorgeous and epic in every way, Stephen Spielberg's first extraterrestrial opus wowed audiences 45 years ago with groundbreaking visual effects and an iconic score by longtime collaborator John Williams. Close Encounters of the Third Kind tracks Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), an average dad who witnesses an otherworldly event, and Claude Lacombe (François Truffaut), a scientist tracking unidentified flying objects around the world. Experience Spielberg's singular vision for the film in a 4K-restored director's cut on the big screen at the Lucas Theatre for the Arts.

Tickets for the film, part of the Lucas Theatre Summer Centennial series, are $5 for SCAD Card holders, students, seniors, and military, and $8 for the general public. Tickets are available online or at the Savannah Box Office, 216 E. Broughton St. For more information, email scadtheaters@scad.edu.
