CHAOS WALKING CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS April 16-20 Fri. & Sat. 7:30 pm Sunday 3:00pm Tuesday 6:30 pm (not 7:30) From Carnegie Award-winning author Patrick Ness comes a bold cinematic experience beyond imagination. Todd Hewitt lives on the distant planet of New World--a new hope for humanity until struck by 'The Noise,' a virus which inflicts immersive visions of ones' every thought. The cacophony drives many mad until Todd makes a hidden, silent discovery: there is a girl named Viola, who may be the key to unlocking New World's many layered secrets. Together, the two unlikely companions are forced on a white-knuckle adventure into an unexplored planet -- trying to escape and hide in an environment where all thought is heard, all movement seen --as they both discover the truth about the lives they left behind and the spectacular world they've learned to call home. DIRECTOR Doug Liman SCREENPLAY Charlie Kaufman, Jamie Linden, Patrick Ness CAST Tom Holland, Daisy Ridley, Mads Mikkelsen, Demian Bichir, David Oyelowo, Cynthia Erivo, Nick Jonas RATED PG-13 for violence and language RUNTIME 109 minutes CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS Reserved Seats Required Regular movie prices, but there will be no service fee for online movie tickets (different than for live shows). Please show up early for concessions to prevent crowding in the lobby. Mask or face covering, including the nose and mouth, is required throughout the theater, including the lobby, aisles, and theater seats at all times. Mask may be removed only while seated in your seat and eating or drinking, but then must put mask back on. If you can't wear a mask, maybe you shouldn't come to the theater yet. We need your cooperation with COVID precautions or we can't stay open. Thank you! |

NEW FRESH AIR INTAKE CONTROL! Liberty has installed a fresh air intake controller, on our rooftop heat pump, that lets us easily adjust up to 100% outside air intake, for up to 4 air exchanges per hour in the theater auditorium! (when outside air temperature permits. Usually it will be less.)
Together with our new HEPA indoor air purifiers, this will give cleaner air quality to reduce worry about COVID-19 in the theater.

WORKING WASHINGTON 3 GRANT
We were fortunate to receive a CARES Act grant of $12,500, for COVID related support, from the Washington State Department of Commerce, disbursed by CDP Washington, and coordinated to us by Port of Columbia. We express our sincere gratitude to those agencies for this support. |

LIBERTY THEATER'S ANNUAL APPEAL UPDATE 3/26 Thanks to All-in-WA, all their donors and the Seattle Foundation, for $31,320 in matching funds for the donations our donors made through Blue Mountain Community Foundation in December! We are financially stable, thanks to donations, grants, and CARES funds, despite facing extra COVID costs and prolonged theater closure. We still expect reduced audience sizes, probably for many months, even after we reopen. We expect to depend more heavily on donations this coming year because our ticket income and concessions income will be much reduced. Annual Appeal donations are considered unrestricted and will usually all be used for Operations. |
OPEN AGAIN since Feb 26, 2021!
ARTS WASHINGTON GRANT RECEIVED
Arts Washington awarded a $10,000 support grant to the Touchet Valley Arts Council, owner and operator of Dayton's historic Liberty Theater. The Washington State Arts Commission (ArtsWA) in collaboration with the Washington State Department of Commerce made the CARES relief funding available to Washington State arts and cultural organizations impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic through the grant application process. |
