Poppy Hour
Written By: Donna Rhodes | Issue: 2020/07 – July
Somewhere in the Covid equation of health and safety, there’s got to be room to rest and reset … a place of comfort and a brief escape from the pressures of these sometimes trying and tumultuous times.
But how do you socialize while observing all the local and state health requisites?
Highlands Playhouse has the answer. It’s called Poppy Hour. The Playhouse has one of the largest covered patios in town. Rain or shine, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M., they’ll offer fresh movie theater popcorn, candy, a new assortment of snacks, and, of course, a variety of fine wine.
“It’s a great way to engage the community and reconnect with our patrons after our long hiatus…” says Lance Matzke, Highlands Playhouse Managing Director, “…and we hope to make some new friends, too. We are looking for novel ways to stay relevant and to provide entertainment to our crowds on the Plateau. We all eagerly await phase three, the reopening of our first-run films.”
There’s plenty of room to comply with social-distancing at the Playhouse, yet have the satisfaction of mingling with friends. There’s a spacious deck to spread out the fun with plenty of seats inside to separate, relax, and still enjoy.
These few months have given us a chance to rest and reset. We’ve watched plenty of movies, shows, and documentaries in our home theaters. Now it’s time to reconnect in an open space.
When we’re back in gear, you’ll be able to experience that “extra something” that occurs when the lights go down and the curtains rise. Home theaters are great, but there’s nothing like the “reel” deal of a classic cinema.
