July 24th - July 25th (July 30th)

Due to the different state stay-at-home orders of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan opening dates and schedules are uncertain and may change.

Each theater may have significantly reduced maximum capacity due to social distancing rules. Information subject to corrections (Admission prices may be lower for second run movies).

Also there may be food passes for sale to allow you bring your own drinks and snacks when the snack bar is closed. Outdoor theaters make a majority of their money from the sale of concessions so paying for a food pass or donation helps to keep the theaters running.
