The Series schedule is as follows:

Gidget: Aug 3 (7 pm) & Aug 4 (2 pm)

Due to an accident while swimming in the sea, Francis meets the surfer Moondoggie. She’s fascinated with his sport and starts to hang out with his clique. Although they make fun of her at first, they teach her to surf and soon she’s accepted and given the nickname “Gidget”. But it’s hard work to become more than a friend to Moondoggie.

For this film a special rate of $5 for all!! Purchase advance tickets online at rehobothfilm.com or at the Cinema Art Theater box office in Lewes.
