The theater posted on Facebook: “We are proud to be New Jersey’s only authentic drive-in and honored to be the same state where the drive-in experience started. We’ve come so far in the past 20 years, and the open & nighttime sky is the limit for where we will go next! Join us as we pay homage to our opening night, as we play some of the original movies to grace our screen all those years ago!! This is a one night only event, and as always, ‘it’s a nice night for a drive-in!’ ”
