Vertigo at Medfield State Hospital: FAQs

 

James Stewart in Vertigo

We’re excited to see you at our pop-up drive-in screening of Vertigo at Medfield State Hospital this weekend! Here are some important details:

Timing

Gates will open at 5pm. You are welcome to arrive at that time to secure a parking spot and walk the grounds of the Hospital. While doing so, please observe social distancing and wear a face covering. The film will begin at 7pm.

Parking

Cars will be parked on a first come first served basis. Smaller vehicles will be parked closest to the screen and rows will continue toward the back of the field. Larger vehicles like SUVs, trucks, or vans will be parked toward the back to avoid obstructed views. 

At the end of the film, we will exit one row at a time. Instructions will be given over the radio frequency you’ll be using to listen to the film. All guests must leave the location in an orderly fashion at the end of the film. 

When parking, we will leave the middle row available for late arrivals for vehicles in any size. This is for safety reasons and to avoid disruptions to your viewing experience.

You must remain in your vehicle at all times during the screening. If you leave your vehicle to purchase concessions or to use the restrooms, you must wear a face covering.   

Tickets

$60 per car. Please have your tickets printed or on your phone and ready to be shown at the gate. Please note that all tickets are non-refundable. Day of event ticket sales for Friday and Sunday will need to be done online.

Food/Concessions

Popcorn will be available at a Coolidge Corner Theatre concession stand via credit or debit card purchase only. There will also be local Medfield mobile food units on site for each screening:
