HENDERSON, KY — Soon, residents of this northern Kentucky city will no longer have to cross the Ohio River over to Evansville, Indiana to enjoy a film, as construction has begun on an eight-screen multiplex here. The theater will be operated by the family-owned North Park Cinemas, based in Evansville, and will be their fifth facility in the region.

“People will never have to cross the river again to do it. We will have our own movie theater,” Schneider said to a round of applause at the ceremonial groundbreaking for Showplace.

“It will be a first-class facility,” promised Mick Stieler, the corporate secretary for Evansville-based North Park Cinemas Inc., the family-owned parent company of Showplace.
