COVID-19 health protocols will be in place, including mandatory face mask-wearing for moviegoers not seated inside of the theatre.
To stave off the spread of the virus, aisle seats are no longer permitted for use. Moviegoers are asked to sit at least three seats away from those not in their viewing group.
Due to the venue’s reduced capacity, advance tickets are recommended for showings.
