Hull’s Drive-In Theatre is America’s only community-owned, non-profit, drive-in theatre.  The theatre is owned and operated by Hull’s Angels, Inc. a 501c(3) membership organization. 

Any person interested in helping preserve the theatre may become a member of Hull’s Angels.  All Members of Hull’s Angels receive periodic newsletters, get their name on the “Angel Trailer”, which screens before the show each night, participate in “Angel of the Week” drawings for gift certificates, and are eligible to vote in board elections.

Guardian Angels receive a coupon for a free Hull’s t-shirt.  Archangels receive a t-shirt coupon and a free “season pass” (28 ticket coupons).

Community Partners are businesses and organizations who support Hull’s Angels.  Community Partners receive all the benefits of members, but do not participate in the governing of Hull’s Angels.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of Hull’s, without them we wouldn’t be able to keep this drive-in alive. Several volunteers are needed each night throughout the six-month movie season to work beside the paid staff in the concession.  Volunteers also operate the “Angels Booth” selling souvenirs and signing up new members.

Volunteers do not need any special skills or experience, just a desire to help keep the drive-in going strong.  The schedule is flexible, and volunteers do not have to commit to any minimum number of nights. In addition to the eternal gratitude of the drive-in community, movie-night volunteers also earn free movie passes and snacks from the concession.  Hull's also needs volunteers to help run the organization and maintain the facilities.  Please contact us at

Who We Are
Hull's Angels is the name of a local non-profit group dedicated to preserving Hull's Drive-In Theatre. Our group formed in 1999 after Hull's Drive-In closed following nearly fifty years of operation. After a two-year fundraising effort, Hull's Angels succeeded in purchasing the theatre business in 2001. Several hundred drive-in supporters each paying $6 annual dues are considered Hull's Angels. We are proud to be the new owners and operators of this community treasure.

Where We've Been
Hull's Angels held it founding meeting in June 1999. Present were fifty drive-in fans eager to find a way to re-open this beloved theatre. During the summer we explored various options and built our membership. By fall, we agreed the organization itself should try to purchase Hull's. At that point we formally organized as a non-profit corporation, elected a volunteer board of directors. By the spring of 2000, we negotiated an agreement enabling us to purchase the business anytime during a two-year lease. Soon thereafter we launched a $75,000 capital campaign. By July 2000 we had raised enough money to make urgent repairs and reopen the theatre for the season.
After a successful first season, we reopened in April 2001 for our first full sixth-month season. Thanks to the donations from literally hundreds of people, we were able to purchase the business in late May 2001. As operators of the nation's only non-profit community drive-in movie theatre, Hull's Drive-In has enjoyed widespread media attention for their efforts.
 

Where We're Going
Our goal is to keep on operating Hull's Drive-In Theatre in the respectful, family-friendly manner of longtime owner Mr. Sebert Hull. Now that we have purchased the drive-in business, we're turning our attention to keeping this historic theatre in good physical condition, showing great movies, and extending our community outreach through special events and other charitable projects benefiting our local area.
