To ensure every precaution is met, Picture Show, in concert with the National Association of Theatre Owners and state and local health officials, has planned and executed an abundance of operational adjustments and safety measures including but not limited to; plexiglass barriers to reduce contact between team members and guests, enforcing and maintaining a six foot physical distance in all areas of the theater including lobby and auditoriums marked with floor signage and safely spaced luxury recliner seating. Picture Show is also a proud partner of CinemaSafe. This program, commissioned by the National Association of Theatre Owners, puts the health and safety of our guests and employees at the center of movie theater operations across the country and we are proud to meet and exceed all of these voluntary protocols. Guests are encouraged to visit https://pictureshowent.com/what-to-expect/ to learn more about what to expect upon returning to the movies.
The Picture Show team of staff will continue to adhere to stringent cleaning and sanitizing protocols to mitigate and reduce touchpoints in high traffic areas, use personal protective equipment and hand washing on a frequent basis. Additionally, guests visiting the theater will be required to wear a face covering when in the lobby, concession areas, restrooms and hallways. Masks may be removed while enjoying refreshments when seated in the auditorium.
