“Let’s go to the movies!”

I love “live” theater! Everyone who knows me, is aware of this. But I do enjoy some great films, and Jane adores “going to the movies”. I am not sure if it is the popcorn, the reclining seats , or just the huge screen, but a movie is pretty much her favorite. Going to the movies was always a great way to get out of the house for a small cost, but over the years, have you noticed where it has gone. Yes, even being a “senior” is not as beneficial as I thought it could be. Not only have the prices gone up, but the concessions have hit the atmospheric heights!

What can we do? Well, we found a plan that I think is one that everyone should at least know about! The very intimate theaters of Highland Park, now under the ownership and management of Wayfarer Theaters in Downtown Highland park has a membership program that truly makes it all affordable.

Become a Wayfarer Unlimited member for just $25 a month and enjoy unlimited movies and live events, plus save 10% on concession items!💫

AND for a limited time, save up to 25% off your membership when you sign up for 12 months!😊

Sign up on the website or at the theater and start saving!  The website  www.wayfarertheaters.com

They are located at 1850 N 2nd Street in Highland Park ( second floor)

their phone is 872-873-1030

There is indoor parking ( the theater covers that) and plenty of dining just steps from the theater.

They also have a nice assortment of concessions ( at proper pricing) and probably the best popcorn you will ever taste!

note: They have a $5 bag that is plenty and delicious ( with or without butter) and beverages in the can or cup at prices that are as they should be.

If you desire to see a movie every day ( except Monday/they are closed) and or even three or four in one day, you can do it. In fact, you could view a morning film, go have  brunch. go see another film, then have dinner and finish the day with even one more film. The only extra for you is moving the car as the parking is limited to three hours.. However, you could go out, and return with a new ticket to validate and you are covered for that as well.

Looking for a great investment? Love films? Wayfarer has your answer. If this is too much for you, they have another program as well.

Discount Tuesdays- $3 off per ticket and free refills on popcorn, and “The Insider”, a special program where you join for $12.50 and get 10% off any concession items.

I think once you visit these five intimate spaces and see just how comfortable they make you feel, you will want to be a regular. Not just for the films, but they also do community projects and very often, bring in films that are themed with speakers who do talk-backs before or after the screening. Wayfarer Theater is a special place in the neighborhood!

Visit it- fall in love with the movies again!
