Skyway Marina District and St. Petersburg City Theatre to present iconic 1980s film

Okay, so Sixteen Candles was made more than 30 years ago, and Molly Ringwald isn’t the pretty red-headed heart-throb of millions of adolescent boys anymore but the iconic John Hughes movie remains one of the great romantic teenage angst films of all time. To refresh your memory or (if you haven't seen it), take a look at the trailer we've posted above.

It’s the perfect choice for the Skyway Marina District’s new Movie Night project, which happens to be on Valentine’s Day weekend. Skyway Marina District has teamed up with St. Petersburg City Theatre to present the film on Friday, February 12. Doors open at 7 p.m. The film starts at 8. Admission is free but seating is limited to 250. The theatre is located at 4025 31st Street S. Check the Skyway Marina Facebook page for more details.

 Beer lovers can try the offerings of Mastry's Brewing Company and coffee lovers will be able to indulge with Cold Brew Iced Coffee on draft from Voyage Cold Brew.

For the record, Molly Ringwald is 47 years old now and no longer a redhead. She is happily married, has three children, and pursues a career as a jazz musician, a discipline she learned from her father and to which she returned after acting. She counts music is just another thing that she does. She and her husband, writer Panio Gianopoulos, showed up on the red carpet last spring at the Billboard Music Awards.

On Friday, though, we can be transported back to the 1980s and that delightful teen love story. Can’t think of a better way to get the romantic weekend under way.
