The Shannon Theatre will be showing 'The Hobbit' (PG-13) starting Friday, according to Peter Suter, Theatre manager.

Running from Friday, Feb. 8 through Wednesday, Feb. 13, showtimes will include:

  • Every evening at 7:00 PM
  • Saturday and Sunday matinees at 1:30 PM.
  • The Shannon Theatre will have neither a 9:30 p.m. evening show nor a 4 p.m. weekend matinee due to the 2 hr and 45 minute length of the film.

And in case you're wondering what starts on Valentine's Day, Feb 14, it's 'Escape from the Planet of the Apes' (PG).
