The Base Theater, which is run strictly by volunteers, offers free movies every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and sometimes Thursdays for all of Team Hill and their families.
The Base Theater falls under and is run by the Junior Enlisted Association. This gives the JEA the opportunity to support the base theater by maintaining and continuing the free service to the base population and to support the volunteers needed to run the theater.
"In order to support a service that is not funded, we solely depend on the time and efforts of people who are willing to keep the theater open for everyone who has access to Hill Air Force Base," said Tech. Sgt. Sherril Erickson, president of the JEA.
Erickson stated all Team Hill members can volunteer including teenagers (14 and older), retirees, spouses, contractors and GS workers are also welcome.
"Volunteering at the theater can also benefit your squadron if you are looking to raise money," said Erickson. "Anyone interested will make 30 percent of the total sales of snacks and drinks for that week, or weeks, you are volunteering."
With the help of volunteers, the theater will be able to raise more money for future plans to make the theater more up to date.
"Right now the future plan is to replace the aged system and to start utilizing the theater for plays and possibly a children's theater," said Erickson. "We are trying to encourage diversity in what we show at the theater, aside from just movies."
Erickson expressed that this is a great opportunity to not just help the theater raise money, but to also support our fellow Airmen and their families, retirees, civilians and contractors.
