Landmark Bethesda Row Cinema marquee lights up for first time in over a year

The marquee outside the Landmark Bethesda Row Cinema was lit for the first time in over a year. Theatergoers were greeted by flatscreens sporting a "Welcome back" message, as they made their way to the lobby escalators to descend to the concessions and auditorium area. 

Landmark is operating under CinemaSafe coronavirus protocols. Masks are required under the Montgomery County indoor mask mandate. While Bethesda is one of the few towns of its size in America to not have a single mainstream cineplex, Landmark Bethesda Row Cinema at least gives movie buffs a chance to enjoy high-quality, arthouse films in the neighborhood in an upscale theater, after more than a year of dark screens.
