Although this campaign has concluded, it's easy to give to Ohio University and support the Athena Cinema Support Fund.
Enjoyed by movie-goers at the Athena — especially during the Athens International Film & Video Festival — Shagbark's Heirloom Popcorn has been a staple at the theater since 2011. This $50 gift level is in recognition of two 25 lb. bags of Shagbark popcorn.
For over 100 years the Athena has been showing movies on Court Street. This $100 gift level is in recognition of over a century of theater-going in Athens!
From 35 mm to digital, the projection booth is where the magic happens. This $300 gift level is in recognition of magic that happens behind the screen to bring the finest in film to Southeast Ohio.
The iconic Court Street Marquee has been featured on national news, tweeted by celebrities such as Ian McKellen and celebrated in countless snapshots and memories. It has featured proposals, birthday messages and thousands of movie titles. The $500 level is in recognition of the Athena’s marquee and its place in the history—and future—of Court Street and our community.
