Movie watchers will have a checkerboard, socially-distanced theater of seats to choose from, and will be encouraged to socially distance.

Only 80-90 tickets will be sold for each showing.

“We’re the last community theater in the region, so to give our patrons the opportunity to come in and buy a ticket and buy some concessions is something that we all look forward to,” said Grandin Theatre Executive Director Ian Fortier.

The theater will also continue offering private rentals. Staff plan on operating on this limited basis through august.
