Default Barnstorm Theater

The Theater in LSL has been open for a while, why is the Barnstorm still closed?

Safety concerns and having moviegoers go to a central location in the Villages. They are still worried about the spread of Covid 19 and have taken many precautions at the Old Mill Playhouse.

I'd guess it's something to do with $$$$$, not "worry" about Covid.
Just my cynical thinking, I 'spose

Very few people there when I went to News of the World. That does seem to come from fear of COVID 19 even though they seem to have taken a huge number of safety precautions from what I saw in the theater.

Hi Tal. I didn't mean people fear Covid, I meant The Villages doesn't reopen the other theatre due to $$$, not due to Covid issues.

True. Not many people coming to the movie theater = little revenue.

If I were in charge (I am not), I would open only one theater and see how many patrons show up. You can call it $$$$$ or fear of Covid or whatever. I call it a smart plan.

If you owned a business, would you continue operating at a loss?

Tom Hanks was very good in News of the World and the movie The Marksman looks like almost any other Liam Neeson movie. Liam Neeson - Wikipedia
