We wish our doors could be open. But they aren't.
In a normal year, a cinema like the Playhouse would be open 363 days of the year. This year? We were open for 190 days in total. It's been hard, it's been challenging and it hasn't been the year we thought it would be... but who can't say that after a year like this, right?
All we can really say is thank you. Thank you for coming to the cinema in January & February before 'lockdown' began and our world was turned upside down. Thank you for supporting us by buying spring gift packs in April & May. Thank you for returning to the Playhouse in July for a "sold-out" screening of Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing. Thanks for booking a private rental and Christmas shopping with us when we were forced to close down again in November.
Thank you for supporting independent cinema in Hamilton.
We hope 2021 will bring new films, stories and perspectives into your life.

In the meantime, our sister cinema, the Princess [2] in KW, is hosting an epic online poster auction as a "Covid-relief" fundraiser. They have unearthed some real gems and plenty of rare posters. Hit the link here to check out some of the 100s of posters in the auction and to place a bid! [1]
Also, after the 1st of January, our Holiday Pop-Up Clothing Store [3] in support of the Playhouse will be closed forever! If you're thinking of a way to support the cinema and have been curious about these items, shop today while you still can!
