Sing Along to 'Mamma Mia!' During Outdoor Movie Night in Ferndale

Ferndale's summer outdoor movie series kicks off Thursday, July 18, on Vester Street with a screening of the sing-a-long musical “Mamma Mia!” 

"A performing troupe from the Detroit Actors Theatre Company will help lead the sing-a-long. Showtime is at dusk. Pre-movie entertainment begins at 8 p.m. and guests are invited to pick their 'street spot' as early as 6 p.m.," according to the Ferndale Downtown Development Authority. 

The three-month “Get Reel – Outdoor Movies on Vester Street” series, now in its second year, is part of the Ferndale DDA's Third Thursdays promotion. 

The other two shows will be held on the following dates.

• Aug. 15: A showing of "Grease" will kick off the city's Woodward Dream Cruise celebration ahead of the classic car parade Aug. 17.  Pre-show entertainment likely will include hand jive lessons, according to the DDA.
• Sept. 19: The movie has not yet been selected and may be based on public input from the first two Get Reel nights, the DDA says.
