📣 #BayArea movie buffs, we have some good news for you! Three movie theaters have reopened, just in time for the end of summer.

The Stanford Theatre in #PaloAlto reopened in July with a new ventilation and air-conditioning system. Little else has changed for the cinema, where a live organist plays between classic double features, which cost just $7 ($5 for youth and seniors). The theatre's schedule is planned out through September, and available to view online. Tickets at the formerly all-cash box office can now be purchased with a credit or debit card, but this theater still only does in-person ticket sales, and seating is first come, first serve.

#Fremont's Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum reopened in July after a two-year COVID closure. Its first 2022 in-person event paid homage to icon Charlie Chaplin, who joined the Essanay motion picture studio at the end of 1914. Depending on how the next few months unfold, the museum tentatively plans to continue special programs, like Halloween screenings, and ramp back up to regular weekly events by 2023.

#Larkspur’s Lark Theater is once again running its summertime drive-in, holding screenings on Fridays. Tickets for the drive-in are only sold online, with prices at $17 or $30 per vehicle depending on the number of occupants. Screenings begin shortly after sundown, with the start times after 8pm staggered through the end of the season as the summer days shorten. Be on time! Latecomers may be denied entry.
