The Peacock Theatre Update 🎭

If you’ve been following us for long, you know The Peacock Theatre underwent a major renovation in 2024 as part of our Phase 1 improvements. Now, we’re getting ready for the next exciting chapter.

At the end of April 2026, The Peacock Theatre will temporarily close for the summer to allow Phase 2 renovations to begin. We hope to reopen in September or October 2026.

Phase 2 improvements include:

A new, larger lobby
A new, larger concession stand
Two larger ADA-accessible restrooms for men and women
A new ADA family restroom
Elimination of steps at the theatre entrance
An expanded concessions menu

And yes, Monticello — we hear you loud and clear — you want to see what’s playing on the sign. 👏

There is also a chance we may move into Phase 3, which includes a new electronic sign outside so passersby can easily see what’s playing.

Of course, you can still always find showtimes from the comfort of your home on our:

answering machine
Facebook page
website
mobile app
third-party apps like Fandango

And yes, you can even purchase tickets online.

Last month, we also hosted our first-ever Clean Comedy Night, sponsored by Tri Kappa Monticello Sorority. It was a huge success, and we can’t wait to bring you even more live entertainment alongside first-run movies when we return.

Why We Love The Peacock Theatre

The Peacock Theatre is more than just a place to watch movies. It’s a community hub. Families gather here for special events. Couples enjoy date nights filled with laughter and love. There's something magical about sharing a film with friends and neighbors.

We believe that every visit should be memorable. That's why we're committed to enhancing your experience. With our renovations, we aim to create a welcoming atmosphere. We want you to feel at home while enjoying the latest blockbusters.

What’s Coming Next?

As we prepare for the renovations, we’re excited about what’s to come. We’ll keep you updated on our progress. Stay tuned for sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes looks at the improvements. Your support means the world to us!

Lake Shore Drive-In Update 🌟🚗

The Lake Shore Drive-In will reopen April 24 and 25, 2026, for our Customer Appreciation Weekend — and yes, we’ll be offering FREE ADMISSION. This marks the drive-in’s 77th season, and we are proud to continue keeping this incredible piece of Americana alive.

Opening weekend movies have not yet been confirmed, so stay tuned and check back closer to the date. Last fall, we stayed open through the end of October, and the response was fantastic. Because of that great turnout, we plan to remain open through the end of October 2026 as well.

Special Events at the Drive-In

Our summer lineup is still in the works, but we’re also hoping to bring in some special events throughout the season. Imagine movie nights filled with themed events, food trucks, and community gatherings. We want to create an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.

Why the Drive-In is Special

The Lake Shore Drive-In is a cherished tradition. It’s where families create lasting memories. Watching a movie under the stars is a unique experience. The laughter, the snacks, and the shared moments make it truly special.

We’re committed to keeping this tradition alive. We want you to enjoy every moment spent here. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular, we’re excited to welcome you back.
