Workhouse Arts Center Drive-In Movies Attract Large Numbers

LORTON, VA — The movies showing this weekend at the Workhouse Arts Center drive-in are sold out, but another two movie will be shown at the drive-in on Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27. Although tickets are not available yet, visit the Workhouse Arts Center website on a regular basis to find out what movies will be showing June 26-27 in order to be first in line to get tickets.

Both "Shaun of the Dead" on Friday night and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on Saturday night are sold out. Last weekend, the inaugural movies shown at the Workhouse Arts Center drive-in were a big success. Both "Beetlejuice" and "Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone" sold out.

"Thanks to all of you our Drive-In Movies are a huge hit!" the Workhouse Arts Center posted on its Facebook page.

One guest who attended last weekend's movie recommended that moviegoers bring "lots of snacks, blankets, pillows and view the movie from the back of your car with the hatch up." The same moviegoer also suggested that people "get as close as you can since the screen is not that large and dark scenes can be really hard to see."

Workhouse Arts Center officials recommended, though, that moviegoers make sure their hatch is not up too high in order to avoid blocking the view of people behind them.
