About The Lerner Loves You Series:

The historic Lerner Theatre, a beloved centerpiece and cultural treasure of Downtown Elkhart, is proud to announce the return of The Lerner Loves You, a free community movie series created as a heartfelt thank-you to the people of Elkhart and surrounding communities. Made possible by the Elkhart County CVB, the series invites audiences to gather once again inside the iconic downtown venue for shared moments of cinema, connection, and joy.

Building on the success of its inaugural run, The Lerner Loves You continues The Lerner Theatre’s long tradition as a gathering place for moviegoers—dating back to its early days as “The ELCO.” This special series features a thoughtfully curated selection of beloved films from across generations, celebrating storytelling, culture, and the magic of seeing movies together on the big screen.

The series will take place monthly on select Sunday afternoons at 3:00 pm, February until May and then continuing from October until December, offering audiences the chance to enjoy films on the Lerner’s grand screen free of charge. Each film will be shown in the Lerner Theatre’s auditorium, inviting guests to experience the magic of cinema in a setting like no other. Seating is first-come, first-served.
