The Permian Basin, Midland, and Odessa particularly is fortunate to boast a collection of unique and eclectic theaters to screen movies or stage live theater. Here is a sample of such venues and what they offer. We at Rogers Lincoln think they are all great places to catch a show! more The Yucca Theater in Midland opened in 1929, as a movie and vaudeville house. The theatre is a Texas historic landmark and host to The Summer Mummers, Friday and Saturday nights, from the first weekend in June to Labor Day. The Yucca was fully restored in 1981 and seats 1,600. Big Sky Theatre is a three-screen drive-in movie theater conveniently located outside Midland on W Highway 80, just west of Loop 250.  It is open Wednesday through Sunday, playing two feature films on each screen normally starting after 7 PM. The box office opens at 6 PM. The venue allows outside food, but has a full-service grill/concession, offering everything from chicken finger dinners to charburger, and its specialty sandwich, the Chihuahua, plus other goodies like jalapeno poppers, funnel cakes, and homemade corn fritters. Big Sky is pet-friendly. Regal Tall City IMAX & RPX in Midland and Regal Permian Palace & IMAX in Odessa are the places to go if you are interested in experiencing the immersive viewing pleasure of an IMAX-format film in the Permian Basin. Once only scattered around the continent, IMAX theaters typically feature extra large and tall screens, high-resolution cinematography, and separate digital sound. The Permian Playhouse was founded in 1965 as a community theatre for Odessa. The Playhouse is dedicated to providing the community with high-quality, culturally-diverse, theatrical experiences and educational programs for children, adolescents, and adults.

Lincoln, the iconic brand of the American road, has played feature roles in films almost since its inception and in television before the advent of color. Discover some great Lincoln moments from the movies and TV and visit us for a great deal on a Lincoln, America’s enduring and timeless luxury vehicle brand. more High Society The stunning Continental Mk II saw prominent placement in High Society, the 1956 Cole Porter-scored musical comedy remake of Philadelphia Story, starring Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Grace Kelly in her final film. As you would expect, Sinatra bought one of his own. The Long Goodbye The Long Goodbye is Robert Altman's 1973 neo-noir rendition of the 1953 novel is set in the 1970s, that sees private investigator Philip Marlowe, played by Elliot Gould, service his Hollywood clients, and investigate his wife's murder over several trips to and from Mexico, in a 1948 Lincoln Continental Convertible Cabriolet. The Car Perhaps there has never been a vehicle as integral to a storyline as the possessed 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III in The Car from 1977 as it inflicted terror on a small American town in the James Brolin led film. The Matrix In The Matrix, after Mister Anderson/Neo chooses the red pill in the 1999 science-fiction action thriller, he uses a black 1965 Lincoln Continental to move around inside the Matrix during his flight and fight with the Agents. The Lincoln Lawyer In The Lincoln Lawyer (2011), Matthew McConaughey’s defense lawyer Mikey Haller does not just use his 1986 Town Car to go from place to place; it is also his law-office-on-wheels as Haller does much of his work from the backseat of the chauffeur-driven luxury car, ensuring the Lincoln brand is always near the gripping storyline. McConaughey, ever the affable Texan, became a Lincoln brand ambassador. Batman In the “Kapow”, “Zap”, “Boom” era of Batman on the small screen from 1966 to 1968, Adam West portrayed Bruce Wayne and his caped crusader alter ego, who scoured the avenues of Gotham in a concept Lincoln Futura known onscreen as the Batmobile. The series was particularly notable for espousing the importance of using seat belts, something Ford had offered as an option since 1955. Cannon In the 1970s series Cannon, private detective Frank Cannon, played by William Conrad, never missed an opportunity to race and corner his trusted Lincoln Continental Mk IV when in pursuit of the bad guy. From Detour to The French Connection, from Whatever Happened to Baby Jane to Animal House, Lincoln earned its screen time and limelight and carved out an iconic place in entertainment history as a venerable and steadfast companion of famous screen characters.
