The play's the thing

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Are you watching closely? Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate question—you know the one.

Music is our answer to the darkness

Ukrainian musicians of all genres, from metal to opera, transform their passion for music into devotion to their country in this moving documentary.

Beginning on the very first day of the Russian invasion, Soldiers of Song documents how the lives of its cast of Ukrainian musicians have irrevocably changed and how they use their musical talents to support themselves and their communities.

Following the film, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ryan Smith will be joining for a virtual talkback. Screening Sept. 1, tickets at nickelodeon.org 🎟

Ever wondered why you come to The Nick and we have subtitles on?

Open captions are written, on-screen display of a movie’s dialogue, speakers’ names, and sounds, which helps deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers enjoy the movie!

Our screenings include open captions every Tuesday evening and Saturday matinee, that way you know which showtimes have captions (whether you prefer to avoid them or take advantage).

Remember when you used to just... go to the movies? 🍿⁠
⁠
No scrolling reviews.⁠
No spending 30 minutes deciding what to watch.⁠
You’d show up, pick a movie, and enjoy the experience.⁠
⁠
In this clip from The Soda Citizen Podcast, Sumner Bender, Executive Director of The Nickelodeon, shares how The Nick brings back that feeling of simply enjoying a night at the movies.⁠
⁠
But that’s just one small part of our conversation.⁠
⁠
In the full episode, we go behind the scenes of Columbia’s beloved nonprofit theater from how movies are chosen and why some films can never be shown to the future of movie theaters, AI in Hollywood, film festivals, and why The Nick has become such an important part of Downtown Columbia.⁠
⁠
