ThNew Parkway's Karma Cinema
Every Wednesday Night In October
This October at The New Parkway we are the beneficiary of their Karma Cinema program! This means that every Wednesday, you (and all theater patrons) pay whatever you want for your movie ticket, and we get 20% of ticket sales. So come on out for a movie — not only will you be supporting our work, you get to enjoy a film in comfy living-room-style seating with a selection of delicious snacks and meals from the cafe and a variety of local craft beers and wines. We’ll be there every Wednesday evening for the first two movies with our merch and a few puppets, so come say hello!
Park Burger
Friday, October 9th from 4:30-8:30pm
On Friday, October 9th we’ll be popped up at Park Burger Oakland for some more spooky Halloween fun. Mention Driveway Follies when you order from 4:30-8:30 and they will donate 15% towards this year’s show AND give you a raffle ticket for one of our new glow-in-the-dark t-shirts! We will be there with some familiar puppet friends too, but only from about 6-8.
