'Arrive Early': McHenry Outdoor Theater Opens Season April 26

MCHENRY, IL — The McHenry Outdoor Theater at 1510 N. Chapel Hill Road is about to have a "big" opening Friday night thanks to a showing of "Avengers: Endgame." Theater owner Scott Dehn shared some important tips on the theater's Facebook page Thursday, noting that because of how big the opening night movie is , the theater will open early.

"Opening weekend is always a BIG event here, but this year we open the season with the biggest movie of all time," Dehn said in a Facebook post. "Really big. I'm talking Hulk big. We typically open our gates at 6:30 PM unless the line of cars reaches the road. Then we will open early. I anticipate that we will definitely be opening early. I cannot suggest strongly enough to arrive early. Avengers: Endgame Will begin around 8:00 PM or so."

A showing of "Captain Marvel," will begin at midnight, according to the theater website. Tickets (which can be used for both shows) are $12 for adults and $6 for children, military personnel and senior citizens.

Dehn also said he would definitely encourage everyone to visit the theater website, goldenagecinemas.com, and find the "comprehensive list of helpful hints, tips, and rules and regulations" in The McHenry Outdoor Theater section.

The McHenry Outdoor Theater is open Fridays and Saturdays only through Memorial Day, according to the Facebook page.

The theater announced Disney's new "Aladdin" will play Friday, May 24th.
