Movies On The Green To Close Season With Showing Of 'Field Of Dreams'

FRANKFORT, IL — To paraphrase a line from the upcoming final Movies on the Green movie for the 2022 season: If you show it, they will come.

The Village of Frankfort is closing out the season of Movies on the Green with a showing of "Field of Dreams," which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1990. The movie tells the tale of Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (played by Kevin Costner) as he builds a baseball field to reunite with his dad, John Kinsella (played by Dwier Brown), so Ray can fulfill his dream of "having a catch" with John.

The movie also features prominent supporting roles by James Earl Jones as Terrance Mann, Ray Liotta as "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and Burt Lancaster in his final film role as Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham.

The free movie is scheduled to begin at dusk, or around 8:15 p.m. at Breidert Green in downtown Frankfort.

Free popcorn will be provided by Kiwanis Club of Frankfort and Frankfort Lions Club.

Movies on the Green is co-sponsored by the Frankfort Park District and the Frankfort Chamber of Commerce.

Rain dates are scheduled for one week after the original showing date.

No pets or alcoholic beverages are allowed during Movies on the Green.
