Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer recently greenlit the Sydney stage’s idea.

By Matthew Moore: “A Sydney, N.S., theatre company is reopening with in-house movie nights.

The Highland Arts Theatre was one of many businesses forced to change operational plans because of restrictions put in place to limit the spread of COVID-19.

The Highland Arts Theatre will be showing feature films for one family bubble at a time.

Welsey Colford, the theatre’s artistic and executive director, said Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer of health, recently greenlit movie nights.

Under normal circumstances, Colford said operating the theatre for fewer than 10 people made no financial sense, but drastic times called for drastic measures.

“Generating any form of revenue is better than generating no revenue,” Colford said. “We had to get creative.”
