Purchasing tickets was a long process as well due to the crowds. Only one person was working the concession stand and that was also swamped. With so many other screens sitting idle in the other two movie houses it would seem like one of them could be utilized to handle this onslaught of interest.

I know help is hard to find but The Villages seems to find the people when they need them. It was just poor use of the facilities we have in this community in my opinion.

The management at Old Mill Playhouse did their best to keep things organized so I compliment them on their handling of a stressful situation, but the developer can do better than this.
Were we all not sold on the "Lifestyle" of TV and shown 3 town squares that included within it a lifestyle of ease to go to the movies -by golf cart no less. IMO we have been had. Covid closed them. Now that has passed and we got what? Is there a petition circulating yet, class action suit yet? Really... bait n switches don't bode well with most people...
