THEATRE HISTORY

what is it like to watch a movie in a drive-in movie theatre?

I’ve never been to a drive-in movie theatre. how many people can watch a movie from one car? can people in the back seats watch too? is it comfortable? about how many cars can fit in a drive-in theatre? how do you get the sound? what system of projection is used?

You have never lived if you haven’t been to a drive-in. Normally a double feature with intermission in between so you can go to the snack bar. We used to fit in as many people as possible in the car. Some places charged by car and some per person. Fun to try and sneak people in locked in the boot. Here in Australia it was fun to take along a couple of chairs or bean bags in the summer so you could sit outside. There was a speaker attached to a pole that you hooked onto your window but these used to get broken when people drove off without putting them back on the pole. The later ones had a system that would pick up radio freuwncy in your car radio and run it through that way. Horror films were always the best at the drive in. If you get a chance, do yourself a favour.

Street Theatre $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Street theatre is a form of theatrical performance and presentation in outdoor public spaces without a specific paying audience. These spaces can be anywhere, including shopping centres, car parks, recreational reserves and street corners. They are especially seen in outdoor spaces where there are large numbers of people. The actors who perform street theatre range from buskers to organised theatre companies or groups that want to experiment with performance spaces, or to promote their mainstream work. Sometimes performers are commissioned, especially for street festivals, childrens shows or parades, but more often street theatre performers are unpaid or gather some income through the dropping of a coin in a hat by the audience. The logistics of doing street theatre necessitate simple costumes and props, and generally there is little or no amplification of sound, with actors depending on their natural vocal and physical ability. This issue with sound has meant that physical theatre, including dance, mime and slapstick, is a very popular genre in an outdoor setting.

The Car $76.47 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Car is a 1977 thriller/horror film directed by Elliot Silverstein and written by Michael Butler, Dennis Shryack and Lane Slate. It starred James Brolin, Kathleen Lloyd, John Marley, and Ronny Cox. The story is about a mysterious car which goes on a murderous rampage, terrorizing a small town. The movie was produced and distributed by Universal Studios, and was influenced by numerous road movies of the 1970s including Steven Spielbergs 1971 thriller Duel and Roger Cormans Death Race 2000 (from 1975). It has also been compared to Spielbergs Jaws, with a car replacing the shark. The film is memorable for its sound effects, most notably the terrifying horn blast the car makes when claiming a victim. Another unusual feature is that there are brief portions in which characters speak Navajo. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
