Screen on the Green kicks off with "Wreck-It Ralph"

WHAT: Screen on the Green summer movie series showing of “Wreck-It Ralph.” Rated PG for some rude humor and mild action/violence. No admission charge.
WHERE: Burry Park, 131 Cargill Way, Hartsville, SC 29550
WHEN: Saturday, May 18, 2013, dusk


Screen on the Green, the City of Hartsville’s free outdoor movie series, will kick off its third season this Saturday at Burry Park with a showing of “Wreck-It Ralph,” sponsored by Sheriff Wayne Byrd.

The 2012 Walt Disney Animation Studios movie tells the story of Wreck-It Ralph, an arcade video game villain who wants to be as beloved as his video game’s good guy, Fix-It Felix. Sneaking into other video games in the hopes of becoming a hero, Ralph accidentally unleashes an enemy capable of destroying every game in the arcade. His one hope of becoming a real good guy lies with Vanellope von Schweetz, a troublemaking “glitch” from a candy-coated cart racing game.


The Screen on the Green series is designed to provide more opportunities for family fun in downtown Hartsville during the summer months. The showings use an inflatable 25-foot screen to project movies which begin after sunset, a time coming after 8:30 p.m. this Saturday. The City of Hartsville sells snacks and drinks during the showings. In the event of rain, the showings are relocated to the Coach T.B. Thomas Sports Center at Byerly Park, found at 701 W. Washington St.

The 2013 series will feature a new movie every month, including “Earth, by Disney Nature” on June 22, sponsored by Sonoco Recycling, “Brave” on July 20, sponsored by Duke Energy, and “The Princess Bride” on Aug. 17, sponsored by the Landmark Inn.
