BarnZ’s Barrington Cinema will soon begin using its parking lot for drive-in movies while the theater remains closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Cinema owner Tim Barnes said the pop-up drive-in will accommodate 60 cars and serve two goals: offer locals a way to safely get out and spend time together, and raise money to support the New Hampshire Food Bank and people in need.
“All of the admission will go to the food bank,” said Barnes. “We were sitting around trying to figure out what we could do. This just came to us because we do movies and this is what we could do.
