AKRON, Ohio – The Nightlight Cinema in downtown Akron has partnered with Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens for an outdoor movie series on the grounds of the historic estate.
The “Nightlight Under the Stars” series kicks off Friday, Sept. 4 with a sold-out showing of “Purple Rain” at Stan Hywet, located at 714 North Portage Path in Akron.
The six-film series includes “Grey Gardens” on Sept. 12, “The Lake Black Man in San Francisco” on Sept. 18, “Days of Heaven” on Sept. 19, a sold-out screening of “Rear Window” on Sept. 25 and “Vertigo” on Sept. 26. All shows start at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $20 and available at nightlightcinema.com.
Seating is limited to 75 guests per showing, and guests are required to wear masks to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Chairs will be provided, and concessions will be available.
Nightlight Cinema has remained closed since mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but has taken a creative approach in connecting its audience with films by hosting virtual and outdoor film screenings.
“We are very excited to partner with The Nightlight Cinema, a peer non-profit, to provide a safe, outdoor movie experience for the community,” said Sean M. Joyce, president & executive director of Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens. “Stan Hywet is using the model that we’ve used for the Ohio Shakespeare Festival this summer, which resulted in sell-out performances. We expect The Nightlight Cinema will sell-out their performances as well.”
