Our First Weekend Reopen! Grab Movie Tickets For Red Rocket, Nightmare Alley in Black & White, Gucci & More!

We're excited to have you back at the Playhouse for our first weekend back open! Lots of newly released films to see, so get tickets (and popcorn)!

We've got limited-edition screenings of Nightmare Alley: Vision in Darkness and Light. Guillermo del Toro brings a whole new vision to his noir thriller and we can't wait to see it! A perfect reason to see it again and a great chance to catch it on the big screen while you still can.

A24's Red Rocket arrives this Friday. From Sean Baker, the director of The Florida Project, this film takes a look into parts of America hardly ever seen on the big screen. Heartfelt, unique, funny, unsettling, great performances and utterly unforgettable.

House of Gucci is one of the most all-out entertaining films of the year. Director Ridley Scott brings together an all-star cast, with Lady Gaga and Adam Driver leading the way through this true story of murder and fashion.

A24 continues a great year of movies at the Playhouse with Joel Coen's The Tragedy of Macbeth. Shakespeare's Scottish play is timeless perfection, but this film adapts it in a whole new way. Gorgeous and captivating, this is a film that demands to be seen on the big screen. Starring Oscar-winners Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand as the power couple.

Tickets for Belfast, which opens on the 9th are selling fast! Grab yours today and see it next week. This film is an Oscar frontrunner for Best Picture and is one of those feel-good stories you just need to see right now. Directed by Kenneth Branagh.

Drive my Car is coming Feb 11th to the Playhouse. Mark your calendars; this film is being touted to win the Oscar for Best International Feature.

Follow us on Instagram as well to stay up to date.

See you at the movies this Friday!

Rheostatics: Live at the Playhouse / With Corin Raymond opening

Saturday, April 9, 8:00pm. A few tickets available!

Ever bound for ragged glory, Rheostatics occupy a unique place in the Canadian music landscape, pulled together and apart for nearly forty years. Finding grace in the reality of endurance, Rheostatics show us a special type of longevity, through upheaval, personal (and personnel) change, and a basic refusal to play the game in any way, shape or form, stretched over decades.
