Baby Brigade - Crying Room Theater
Attention Mommies,
Daddies, and Adults with children!
We found a theater
that encourages bringing your new baby (under one year,
please!) to the theater.
You heard it here...
The Parkway Theater in Oakland, known for its progressiveness
and community involvement, is trying something new: Baby
Night/Cry Room at The Parkway.
All parents can
bring their new babies to the Monday 6:30PM and 7:00PM show.
Babies get in free, all others pay the usual admission fee of
$5.00.
The cozy atmosphere
of the Parkway will suit your little family well. Stretch out on
a couch, set your beer on the table, and cuddle junior in your
lap. When the baby wakes up, put her up on your shoulder and
stroll a little in the back of the theater.
No need to miss out
on the movie- everyone else will understand- they have one too!!
Catherine Campbell,
co-owner of The Parkway Theater, said the idea came from her
niece, the beautiful and charming Charlotte.
So if you are
childless, we recommend you choose another show, but if you have
found yourself recently housebound by a bundle-o'joy - get
out, have someone else make dinner, catch some of those movies
you missed while in labor and listen to some other babies cry
for awhile.
We decided to
include this Belly Scoop to encourage other local theatres to
follow suit!! New Parents - get your local theaters
involved!!
