Showings at St. Mary’s Academy and Holy Family School will be outdoors, with those attending encouraged to bring lawn chairs for seating. Both showings in Plattsburgh will be in a drive-in movie format. “Which is something the North Country hasn’t had in a long time,” Aley said of a drive-in movie theater. The showing at St. Mary’s Academy will be paired with an open house for the school earlier that evening from 5 to 7 p.m. and pizza sales by Papa John’s, which will benefit St. Mary’s. The showing at Holy Family School will include a barbecue hosted by the school beginning at 3 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, Aley said showings at each location will be rescheduled for exactly one week later.
