Some things will be a little different at the theater this year. To order food from the concession stands, the owners ask that you download an app on your phone before you arrive! Order your food and then wait for a text to tell you that your food is ready! The app is free to download, but does charge a 10% “convenience fee”. The app is called “FoodApp”
Please follow all rules regarding Covid-19.
