It was HORRIBLE (and is "free" if you have HBO). The first one was EXCELLENT but this was a fail.

For those who refuse to wear a mask I hope you do stay away. We will never get rid of this virus with such selfish and ignorant behavior by a few. We had our vaccination but will still wear masks in consideration of others.

Confusing: It was tough to figure out what was going on according to the paper as to where and when to buy tickets. I rode down to Box Office in Sumter and "closed" so went to Old Mill and talked to girl outside and told tickets don't go on sale until Friday. I also read times of movie in paper were 3:00, 5:00 and 7:30 and when I looked at marquee outside of Old Mill the times were 2:00, 4:30 and 7:00. I was also told you can't buy tickets at Brownwood or Spanish Springs. Today in paper they now say the movie is also showing on THURSDAY!!! So, will I do down today to buy tickets or wait until Friday to buy tickets for Thursday?? Much confusion as to what Tom, Dick and Harry are doing - poor communication.

Why people who got the vaccine think they are save from getting and giving Covid is beyond me.....like little sheep who refuse to believe that hills have wolves.

Their first movie for the February 19 to March 4, 2021 period is "News of the World" starring Tom Hanks.

I will probably wait at least until I get vaccinated. To me though there is nothing like watching a movie on the big screen. At home you can have a 65 inch television and the best surround sound system there is, which I have, but it still is not the same.

Stop telling me what to do. If you are so afraid, that even after getting your vaccine you wear a mask, that is your prerogative. Stay home. I do not go to movie theaters because I no longer supportive of Hollywood and their big mouth actors who have a vacancy where a normal brain would be. I am tired of seeing them promote their political agendas into the movies that should be fun to watch and tired of paying a fortune to watch bad movies with no plot and all special effects.

I too have had both shots now but I can see where a lot of people that have had zero shots would not wear a mask and put people at risk. You never know if the anonymous person sitting next to you eating the popcorn has covid or any other communicable disease.

I believe it's the other way around. If masks are required and you don't want to wear one, YOU are the one who should stay home. Stop telling me what you won't do.

Old Mill Playhouse is in Lake Sumter Landing just off the Market Square. It opened in late 2005.

Would MUCH rather pay $6.95 or such and be in OUR environment.

On the other hand, for live shows - I am AOK to attend those.

That IS a strange contradiction because BOTH are indoor and in public. I would think that considering the dual conditions of the NEW more dangerous CV variant starting to spread in Fl. and the fact that vaccines are SOON becoming widely available, that this Playhouse could ABSTAIN from making PROFITS for a few more weeks or months. They are picking PROFITS over LIFE in their blatant admission of GREED. They should place on their marquee the philosophy, 'Greed is Good' ! ANY establishment that does that should not be supported!

Strange that you received 2 FREE CV shots, but are UNWILLING to payback that government FAVOR by doing what the SAME government's CDC recommends (continued mask-wearing) that you do to repay American society and the American taxpayers. Somehow the word "selfish" enters my mind! Am I being too harsh? What happened to,"we are our brother's keeper"?

Hollywood, like America, is made up of ALL nationalities having varying opinions. Movies are cultural art. Enjoy the art and forget the personal lives of the artists. ALL persons are entitled to that!
