OR PURCHASE A SINGLE FEATURE EARLY BIRD TICKET ($23) which includes a $15 car fee and the first ticket at $8 per person. This gets you into the single FEATURE you select by title.

2) GO TO ADD ONS: Purchase either an additional $12 per person ticket (for BOTH Features) or an additional $8 per person ticket (for a SINGLE FEATURE) for however many other people after the first person will be in the car. We will be doing a count at the gate.

PLEASE NOTE TICKETS THE DAY OF AND AT THE GATE WILL BE $20 per car + $8 per ticket for a single screening.

3)PRE-ORDER ANY CONCESSIONS & POSTERS you would like from the additional Add-Ons. You can pick up all concessions and posters at our table in the middle of the Parking Lot.

To attend, you need a car with an FM radio. We will space out cars to make sure folks can always maintain 6 feet of distance. We ask that folks stay in their cars unless they need to use the portable restroom. Whenever you are out of your car, you are required to wear a mask.

We will have hand sanitizer, masks, and gloves for sale for folks who need them. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BRING ALL THESE THINGS ON YOUR OWN.

Our partnership with Electric Dusk Drive In https://www.electricduskdrivein.com/) continues as we kick off our MUSICAL MADNESS week-long series with a GREASE/DIRTY DANCING double feature.

Sometimes, you just gotta let the sunshine in. And these two musicals are two of the most beloved, feel-good musicals ever made. 1978’s GREASE captures late 1970’s magic in a bottle with Olivia Newton John and John Travolta (along with a cast of dynamite character actors) adapting the Broadway hit musical into the biggest hit live action musical up to that time. The movie follows the return to high school of summer lovers Sandy and Danny. But Sandy and Danny are from different parts of town, different cliques, and all the raging hormone teenage forces of adolescence seem bent on keeping them apart. But nothing can stop true love! Full of musical classics that you either hear sung drunkenly at karaoke, danced to at weddings, or played constantly to pump you up, Grease is pure cinematic fun.

What Grease was to the 1970’s, Dirty Dancing in a different way was to the 1980’s. Now you’re right when you say. . .hey, Dirty Dancing isn’t a musical. And while there are no on-screen sung songs, Dirty Dancing is filled with dance numbers, great 50’s/60’s music, and a dance finale that provides the perfect climax.

Dirty Dancing tells the story of “Baby” (Jennifer Grey) who summers with her family at a popular resort where middle aged folks have affairs with the staff, dance lessons are taught, and the staff is meant to feel beneath the paying families. But then Baby meets dance instructor Johnny(Patrick Swayze). In classic romantic movie fashion, they hate each other at first sight. . .but then. . .slowly Baby comes to realize that there’s a lot more to Johnny than her prejudices would lead her to believe and Johnny realizes Baby has real dancing talent.

When Baby has to fill in for Johnny’s regular dance partner for an upcoming talent show, they start to fall in love. And all hell breaks loose. Will Baby and Johnny end up together? Will Baby’s family keep her from Johnny? Will Johnny self-destruct? Well. . .you’ll just have to come and watch the movie to find out.

Best always,

We highly recommend that you bring a sweater, jacket, or a few layers of clothes just in case it gets a little chilly and you don’t want to run your car.

We also have portable restrooms which are cleaned every 15 minutes throughout the movies.

TICKETS & REFUNDS: Because of the special nature of these screenings, we can not offer discounted series passes. We can offer refunds for requests made through Evenbrite more than 24 HOURS before screening time.

After that, no refunds. Sorry. But we can offer you complimentary tickets to a future Secret Movie Club screening as long as it hasn’t sold out and isn’t a special screening with a different pricing structure.

WHERE DO I PICK UP MY PRE-ORDERED CONCESSIONS AND/OR POSTERS?

We have a concessions/pick up table at the parking lot. All our concessions are factory sealed. We simply hand you your order. If you pre-order posters, we will also have them at this table for pick up. Concessions WILL be available for purchase at the event itself as well if you want to make a game time decision.

WHAT IF I HAD TICKET(S) TO A SECRET MOVIE CLUB SCREENING THAT GOT POSTPONED DUE TO COVID AND WANT TO USE IT HERE? We will be reserving 10 spaces per screening for folks who want to transfer their tickets to one of our Parking Lot Cinema events. We will still need to charge you for the car ($25) but we won’t charge for the tickets.

Please email us at: community@secretmovieclub.com as soon as you can if you want to attend so we can reserve you one of these spaces. Once these 10 spaces fill up, you will have to either pay full price or request a different event.

WHAT IF I HAVE A SECRET MOVIE CLUB LIFETIME, SPRING OR SUMMER 2020 SEASON, OR SERIES PASS? Lifetime Pass holders do get automatic admission to all our events so that includes our Parking Lot Cinema events. Please just email us at community@secretmovieclub.com to let us know you will be attending.

For Spring and Summer 2020 Season and Series Pass holders who had their events delayed due to our COVID postponements, we can’t transfer those passes to the Parking Lot Cinema series because of the special nature and different pricing structure of this series.

HOWEVER, if you write us at community@secretmovieclub.com, we will do our best to get you entrance into at least a few of these screenings as a thank you for your patience. We will have to charge the $25 car fee but we will waive the per person ticket fee. And your Season or Series pass will STILL BE GOOD once we return to theatrical screenings.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS AND MEASURES ARE YOU TAKING SO THESE EVENTS ARE SAFE DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC?

All our staff will have gloves, masks, and work to maintain 6 feet of distance.

We are working to make these events as touch-less as possible. Therefore we ask that you purchase your tickets and all concessions, movie posters, etc THROUGH Eventbrite prior to the event. That way we can just check you off our list, hand you your concessions/posters, and guide you to your parking space.

We will work to have masks, gloves, hand sanitizer for sale at our events.

BUT WE DO HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO BRING ALL THESE THINGS YOURSELVES.

We will have portable restrooms which are constantly cleaned between EACH USE.

HOW WILL THESE MOVIES BE SCREENED: For the time being all movies will be screened digitally. While our first love is 35mm, to make these events happen in parking lots, we do need to screen movies digitally. However, we have taken every step to make sure the image and sound are of the highest quality so you have a great cinematic experience. We will also be doing LIVE IN PERSON INTRODUCTIONS as we did for our theatrical screenings.

WILL THERE BE SINGLE FEATURES AND/OR FAMILY FEATURES? Yes! We will occasionally be screening single features of longer length and single family features. Pleasencheck our website (secretmovieclub.com), our Social Media (@secretmovieclub35mm @secretmovieclub), and our Eventbrite page: http://secretmovieclub.eventbrite.com each Monday at 1pm for newly announced events.

HOW CAN I CONTACT YOU IF I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS:

You can always email us at community@secretmovieclub.com with any other questions, thoughts, recommendations.
