At The Theater

DAYTON–The Liberty Theater is reopening, after closing for almost a year, to bring the community free showings of the movie The Mask of Zorro, starting Friday, February 26 at 7:30 pm.

This movie was selected to celebrate our theater reopening after over 11 months of closure because it is a fun adventure movie, and it was the first movie shown at the theater when the theater reopened in 2001. The second and third showings of the movie will be at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and a matinee on Sunday at 3 p.m. You can pre-select your seats on-line at the Liberty Theater website, but the on-line seat selection closes one hour before the movie time to ensure staff has adequate time to prepare. A few seats may be selected at the door, if any remain available.

The theater is limited to twenty-five percent capacity, limiting available seating, and groups must remain spaced six feet apart to maintain physical distancing. Also, because of COVID related restrictions, six feet minimum distancing is required in the lobby as well as in line for entry to the theater. Masks that cover your face and mouth will be required to be worn at all times when not in your seat. We ask that you please show up quite early to get into the theater and get to your seats because the new safety procedures will require much more time than in the past, and we must avoid crowding.

Modification to the HVAC system have been made to increase ventilation and to bring in much more fresh air, plus added air purifiers in the theater to clean the air and help maintain your safety.

It is exiting to finally welcome everyone back to the theater, and in the spirit of the Mask of Zorro and the reopening, have some fun by wearing black COVID protection face masks that cover your mouth and nose, if you have them. The additional wearing of black "Zorro" eye masks is your option.
