Written by During a recession, people tend to cut back on their arts and entertainment spending. But the arts are life-enriching, and entertainment is crucial during difficult financial times. Here are some inexpensive ideas for cultural pursuits.
Films look best on the big screen. If you crave a theatrical release when it’s actually released, go to matinees. Seniors can get a big discount on tickets.
More tips:
-Single-screen theaters and theaters on the edge of cities tend to charge less for tickets.
-Check out your Park & Recreation Department during the summer. Many fund free outdoor movie nights.
-If you or someone you know has projection equipment, hold a movie night in your back yard. Throw a potluck dinner and borrow some classic films from the library.
