Films hadn’t been shown on the center’s Big Green Screen on a regular basis for several years, but the Tom Ridge Environmental Center Foundation has signed a lease to reopen the theater that is owned by the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

David Clark’s 38-minute 2013 film with narrator Christopher Plummer “transports viewers to the beautiful and otherworldly frozen landscapes of North America, Europe and Asia 10,000 years before modern civilization. Dazzling computer-generated imagery brings this mysterious era to life from saber-toothed cats and giant sloths to the iconic mammoths, giants both feared and hunted by prehistoric humans,” according to information provided by Chaffee.
