Arlee Theater in Mason City to reopen Friday, April 23rd

 

[April 19, 2021] 

The Arlee Theater in Mason City plans to reopen Friday, April 23 with "Godzilla vs. Kong," which will play at 7 p.m. Friday, 7 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, and 7 p.m. Monday. The following week (April 30) will feature "Raya and the Last Dragon" at the same show times as the previous weekend.

“We are taking precautions to provide a safe experience for our guests, and we ask a few things of them as well,” said Gaye Maxson of the Arlee. All movie-goers must wear masks except when seated in the auditorium.

Social distancing is requested when entering, getting concessions and choosing seating, but groups arriving together may sit together. To avoid congestion in the lobby, it is suggested that groups have one or two people order snacks for the group, allowing the rest to be seated.

Only 50 tickets will be sold per movie, which is only 14% capacity. Doors open 30 minutes before each movie, and tickets are sold at the box office prior to each show.

The theater will be disinfected between each show and volunteer staff will still wear masks and be screened prior to each shift.

“Since our plans are subject to changes beyond our control, please check at the Arlee at 217-482-9999, at our website, or Facebook page to confirm our schedule,” Maxson said. “We have missed all our Arlee friends and look forward to seeing them again and providing a comfortable and enjoyable family outing.”
