Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early to find parking and choose seats, since seating is general admission and films start promptly without previews.
  • Collect will-call tickets at the box office on the night; tickets are not printed in advance, and the confirmation email is only a receipt.
  • Buy online before sales close two hours ahead if you want to avoid relying on walk-up availability.
  • Call ahead if a guest uses a wheelchair so the theatre can confirm an accessible balcony seat and seating together.
  • Wear pajamas to the animated double feature on December 21 or 22 if you want to join the film’s invitation.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Guests are invited to wear pajamas at the animated double-feature screenings of A Charlie Brown Christmas and Frosty the Snowman.
  • December 29 and 30 are listed as “After Christmas Movies.”
