'Screen on the Green' Concludes With Date Night Movie

Hilltoppers gathered at the Village Green for the last movie in Summit's "Screen on the Green" 2013 Movie Series.

"Somewhere in Time," a romantic, adults-only film with Christopher Reeve, was shown on a huge screen, and moviegoers enjoyed free popcorn and a complimentary photo booth. 

Judith Josephs, Summit's Director of Community Programs, told Patch in July that this movie series is completely free for residents thanks to all of the sponsors. 

Most movies in this series catered to young Summit residents. Those movies included:

• Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
• Toy Story
• Rise of the Guardians

The movie series also won the 2013 New Jersey Recreation and Park Association’s Excellence in Visual and Cultural Events Programs Award, Josephs said.

Josephs said all summer programs sponsored by the Department of Community Programs is made possible through corporate sponsors.

“Everything we do in the summer, we have to generate the revenue,” Josephs told Patch in July. “We had to find sponsors for the Fourth of July, the Hot Summer Nights Concerts, the movies. At the movies, we actually show preview roles and we show commercials and ads, and that’s how we pay for it.”

The sponsors for the 2013 “Screen on the Green” Movie Series included:

Smythe Volvo, Overlook Medical Center, Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, PNC Bank, Pizza Vita, Investors Bank, Summit PAL, MERCK, Carolann Clynes Fine Homes, Lindabury, McCormick, Estabrook & Cooper, P.C. Attorneys at Law, The Rubino OB/GYN Group, The Connection for Women & families, Shaping Summit Together, The Summit YMCA, The Rotary Club of Summit & New Providence, and the Lions Club.
