After sitting dark for more than 3 months, BendFilm is excited to fire up the projector and reopen for screenings inside the Tin Pan Theater! We look forward to welcoming our community back and have thought carefully about this reopening with excitement and with safety in mind. Here are a few new procedures we need you to know about before you get here:
Seating capacity will be limited to 13 guests maximum and the seating chart will be spread out to give everyone enough space to enjoy the film. All guests will reserve a seat in advance when you buy your ticket. Friends will sit together in groups of 2 or 3. Here is the new seating chart:
The entry process will be monitored and staggered (rows 2 and 4 will gain entry first) to ensure each guest gets enough time to purchase concessions and find their seat. Please arrive 20 minutes before the screening to allow time for the new entry process. Bar staff will be behind a newly installed plexiglass partition and required to wear a mask and gloves. BendFilm (and the State of Oregon) requires guests wear a mask out of an abundance of caution and out of respect for fellow patrons and staff. Seats, arm rests and all high traffic areas will be thoroughly sanitized between shows.
We welcome all questions, comments and feedback about these new procedures because they only work if we all understand the new process and everyone follows the rules. Please email tinpaninfo@bendfilm.org if you need anything.
If you are not ready to come to the theater, fear not. We will continue to bring you new release films online as we have the last few months.
And lastly, THANK YOU for your support over these last few months. We could not do what we do without you!
Films, schedules and ticket information will be updated each week at TinPanTheater.com.
