Uberreview reader Mickey sent me these pictures of his truly awesome outdoor movie theater, Flamingo Rising. Considering that Mickey screens movies almost every weekend at Lake Diversion – for free – it would seem a great time to spread the word. The theater is a simple setup, that consists of a handmade screen, Tiger DVD projector and two directional sound speakers (but drive-in speakers are on the way).
While it has been dubbed “The Smallest Drive-In Theater in the World,” there are no cars involved, instead people sit on vintage lawn chairs.
In Mickey’s own words:
I must make it clear that this is a Community Theater and I in NO WAY make any money from it. We show Movies at Lake Diversion, Texas almost every weekend in the summer its almost always packed and everyone is welcome!
If you live in or around Lake Diversion in Texas and you want to meet a few people and enjoy the fruits of Mickey’s labor, leave a comment and we will put you in touch. What can I say, I am a sucker for a good bit of community spirit. –Thanks Mickey

Is it possible to find out what color/colors the screen was painted in to give the best movie color reproduction? This looks like a great thing to do and I would really like to try this for a family project. Is there any coating or covering on the screen to protect it from weather deterioration?
Really Extremely Neat!!
Thanks very much.
