Curtains drop at Cinema Social in Hotel Talisa

Audience members fill the Cascade Theater at Hotel Talisa for the Vail Film Festival in April. Blue Starlite, the company based out of Austin, Texas, that opened the drive-in theater in Minturn, is partnering with Hotel Talisa to open the theater in November.

The same folks that brought the drive-in movie theater to Minturn is ready to launch in its new location — Vail’s Hotel Talisa — the former Cascade Theater.

Blue Starlite Mini-Urban Drive In’s first brick-and-mortar location — Blue Starlite Cinema Social — will feature movies, dancing, live music and in-theater dining.

The schedule includes social events that include a 1980s dance party and Frank Sinatra ear supper clubs.

Warren Miller’s “Chasing Shadows” is showing Saturday, Nov. 18, (“Happy Feet” is also showing that day). There’s also Harry Potter and Willy Wonka coming to the Vail theater.
