THE PROGRAM

Double features after dark

Plan to linger: the venue routinely programs one or two films in an evening, giving you the option of a single screening or a full double feature under the sky.

THE CONCESSION

A full concession stand serves pizza, popcorn and a lineup of hot dogs, corndogs, cheeseburgers and hamburgers — the primary way the operation funds future screenings, so purchases are encouraged.

THE HOUSE RULES

Community cinema with straightforward requests

The operator asks patrons to avoid bringing outside food, noting that concession sales are essential to keeping the movies rolling for everyone.
