It’s not necessary to buy a ticket to the Plimoth Plantation in order to attend movies. The admission price was raised one dollar several months ago to $9.50. However, members of the museum’s support group receive a discount and, according to the class of membership, you can get in for as little as $6.
There are shows every day at 4:30PM and a second show at 7PM or 7:30PM on Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays. They feature “art house” -type product.
Someone writing in yesterday’s Quincy Patriot Ledger briefly mentions the Plimoth Cinema and its daily offerings of “first run independent, art and foreign films”. He says that it has been operating “for two years”. I did not become aware of it until the Fall of 2008, but have no doubt that it was running before then.
The Plimoth Cinema’s section in the website of Plimoth Plantation has a new feature- a complete listing of movies shown there. It says that it opened on Sept. 15, 2007 with “La Vie en Rose”.
Until last Friday I had never seen a movie display ad for the Plimoth Cinema in the Patriot Ledger entertainment section. They ran a very nice ad for the Woody Allen movie “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger”; the ad was shared with Loring Hall in Hingham.
It seems that there are 2 theaters in this complex. The larger seats 225 and is the one most often used for the movie shows. The smaller seats 125 and is sometimes used for the movies. Total, 350 seats. They are not both used simultaneously for movies, as in a twin cinema. They are both capable of showing the orientation movie which is presented several times daily when the complex is open to visitors.
The Plimoth Cinema opened at 5AM last Friday morning for a live TV feed on its big screen of the Royal Wedding in London. I think that breakfast refreshments were also available. From coverage on local TV news it appeared that they had a good house there.
