MARION — According to a press issued this week by the Palace Cultural Arts Association (PCAA), screening of movies will resume Monday, June 22 at the iconic downtown venue at 276 W. Center St.
Four family-friendly, retro classic movies will be shown throughout the week at the Palace Theatre, including “A Dog’s Purpose,” “Home,” “Monsters vs. Aliens” and “Trolls.”
