counts on our Angels each year for support

to keep the Drive-In open for business.

YOU can be an Angel and if you join as a

member in the month of June, your name

will be entered in a drawing for a FREE

A Donor provided the funds to have a new

Sound System and all new wiring installed

so that our guests could have a world-class

experience with our retro speakers.

As of March, there were only 348 drive-in

movie theaters in the US, down from 443

theaters in 2000. They account for only

about 1.5% of all movie theaters in the

country. In 1980, there were over 2400.

We’re fortunate to have Hull’s in Rockbridge

County!

Hull’s Welcomes Laura Post as NEW Operations Director!

Laura was hired on Friday, March 2nd and went right to work to pull the facility,

equipment and concession stand together as well as hire staff in time for Opening

Night on Friday, March 16th. No small feat, but she was up for the task and

operations have been working smoothly ever since. When not at the Drive-In, Laura

is active in the community as Race Director for the Chessie Trail Runs set for this

October and enjoys her dog, Snickers, a Shepherd-Chow mix. Originally from

NOVA, Laura has been an area resident since 2014.

One bulb costs $1,500 and is

guaranteed for 500 hours which lasts

less than 6 months

of movie playing!

Meet Bertha - Without her, the show would

NOT go on…...

Executive Director, Lauren Summers, joins Hull’s Staff in 2018

With a background in administration, communications and event management,

Lauren is comfortable in her new role at Hull’s and hopes to bring some innovative

new ideas for marketing the theater and creating new community partnerships. A

Rockbridge County property owner since 1989, Lauren became a full-time resident

in 2015. Her spare time is spent traveling to see family, baking, gardening and

working on home improvement projects.

Sponsors are the lifeblood of the Drive -In. Thank them by supporting their businesses!

In order to remain vital in the Drive-In

industry and keep up with the changes

in movie production in Hollywood,

“Bertha” (as we lovingly call her) was

purchased by Hull’s in 2012. An era

had passed and the technology age

had set in. As with all progress, there

are both benefits as well as drawbacks.

No more reels to spool and picture

quality is greatly enhanced, but the

cost of doing business has also in-

creased as a result of these improve-

ments.
