Now Showing: Parkwood Theatre Rolls Out Private Movie Screenings
WAITE PARK – Moviegoers willing to spend a little extra money now have the option to book a private show time at Marcus Parkwood Cinema.
Marcus Private Cinema was rolled out to the Waite Park movie theater earlier this month when COVID-19-related restrictions were loosened.
Clint Wisialowski, Marcus’ Vice President of Sales, says the company has always offered the option to rent a screen for a private showing, but never for fewer than 20 people at a time.
“In normal times, (private theater rentals) were for large events, corporate meetings, big groups, company things,” Wisialowski explained. “As we realized how popular this was becoming, we knew we needed to make some changes. Everything is different because of COVID – now, we’ve really automated the process to make this available to families every day of the week.”
Community members enjoyed dining in at their favorite restaurant, bar and entertainment venue with limited indoor service kicking off again on Monday. This comes after Gov. Tim Walz eased restrictions last week.
