Student Motivation Program

For nearly 40 years Marcus Theatres has been partnering with educators to reward students through our Student Motivation Program. The program encourages academic achievement, good reading habits, perfect attendance and positive connections within the school and community. Students who meet these challenges receive buy-one-get-one admission passes valid at any Marcus Theatres and Movie Tavern by Marcus location
