Liberty Hall is easing its way back into showing movies on the big screen, but there are some changes you should know:
We are currently requiring customers to have a face mask on while moving around the building.
Once you are seated with your popcorn and drink you may take it off, but please put it back on when you are ready to leave.
We are asking everyone who comes into the building to please be respectful of social distancing and give everyone 6 feet of space, especially when choosing a seat in the auditorium.
Showings will sell out at 15 people until we are allowed more and it is safe to do so.
Show times are also limited and spread out to allow staff enough time to thoroughly clean and disinfect everything.
We are regularly cleaning and disinfecting all the touchpoints of the building multiple times throughout the day.
If you are willing to do us a solid, we’ve got little stickers for you to take into the Auditorium to stick on the armrest of your seat. That’ll help us make sure we give that area extra attention.
Staff will be wearing face masks, constantly washing their hands, utilizing hand sanitizer, and doing everything we can to make Liberty Hall safe for you to enjoy.
Thank You for helping keep everyone safer and Welcome Back!
Our Video Rental Store is NOW OPEN! Open browsing isn't available yet but you may call us and set an appointment to browse the store, or call the store and make a reservation, and pick up your rentals in the box office. For more information, please call 785-749-1972

When world-famous conductor Eduard Sporck accepts the task of creating an Israeli-Palestinian youth orchestra, he is quickly drawn into a tempest of unsolvable problems. Having grown up in a state of war, suppression and the constant risk of terror attacks, the young musicians on both sides are far from able to form a team. Lined up behind the two best violinists – the emancipated Palestinian Layla and the handsome Israeli Ron – they form two parties who deeply distrust each other, on and off-stage alike. Will Sporck succeed and make the young people forget their hatred, at least for the three weeks until the concert?

Bacurau, a small village in the Brazilian sertão, mourns the loss of its matriarch, Carmelita, who lived to be 94. Days later, its inhabitants (among them Sônia Braga) notice that their village has literally vanished from online maps and a UFO-shaped drone is seen flying overhead. There are forces that want to expel them from their homes, and soon, in a genre-bending twist, a band of armed mercenaries led by Udo Kier arrive in town picking off the inhabitants one by one. A fierce confrontation takes place when the townspeople turn the tables on the villainous outsiders, banding together by any means necessary to protect and maintain their remote community. The mercenaries just may have met their match in the fed-up, resourceful denizens of little Bacurau.

Douglas County’s health officer has ordered the closure of all restaurants, dining facilities, bars, taverns, night clubs and MOVIE THEATERS. Per this order, Liberty Hall will be closed until April 23rd unless we hear differently. As hard as this is, we want everyone to be as safe as possible. Please keep checking libertyhall.net for any news or updates.
We love our friends, our customers and our community. We will see you again and we will be waiting here with good movies, cold drinks and fresh popcorn.
Just like you, we are closely monitoring new developments regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus). The health and safety of our guests and staff is of great importance to us and we want to take a few minutes to let you know that we take this responsibility seriously.
We are committed to doing everything we can to make you feel confident and safe when visiting Liberty Hall. Therefore, we have implemented several enhanced policies and procedures which follow recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Here a few things we are doing proactively:
Educating our staff regarding COVID-19, and how to prevent spreading the virus.
We are continually communicating with staff to reinforce sanitation and safety procedures.
We are diligently sanitizing all high-traffic areas often throughout the day, giving even greater attention to high touch points such as handrails and door handles, tables and chairs, theater seats and arm rests, restrooms, the video rental store, and the box office.
We are working hard to provide a clean and safe facility and encourage everyone to keep in mind best practices to protect yourself and others: wash your hands often; avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth; cover coughs and sneezes, use hand sanitizer often; and avoid shaking hands. We promise we won’t be offended, and we are sure to get back to high-fiving as soon as possible!
As much as we will miss you, we respectfully ask if you are not feeling well to please stay home and visit us again when you feel better.
We will continue to monitor information from the CDC, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), and Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health and will update any changes in our normal business hours or movie schedule via our social media as often as necessary.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you soon!
