RFC's message to our audience about novel coronavirus COVID-19

UPDATE REGARDING GOVERNOR EDWARDS’ PROCLAMATION ON MARCH 13: Our theater capacity is 124, which does not place us under the large gathering ban (250 or more) issued by Governor Edwards. We do want to continue to provide a safe environment for our customers, so we are limiting our theaters to 50% capacity. This will allow our customers to put 6 feet between themselves and other customers.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: Abby Singer’s Bistro will offer curbside delivery for all to-go orders during regular business hours. Call 318-459-4125 to place your order and then call when you arrive and a server will deliver your order to your car.

The presence of novel coronavirus COVID-19 in Louisiana reminds us of the importance of taking care of ourselves and one another, as we come together to serve our community through screening films and presenting education programs at Robinson Film Center.

Robinson Film Center is committed to keeping our facilities as clean and sanitary as possible. Here are some additional steps we are taking.

  • In addition to our regular cleanings, we are frequently disinfecting all high-touch surfaces, including countertops, door handles, elevator buttons and railings.

  • Customers are invited to bring their own disinfectant wipes to clean seat armrests and other personal areas. Guests should dispose of all wipes properly.

  • Hand-sanitizer is available at the box office and at the hostess station in the bistro for guest use.

  • Our staff are committed to keeping their hands clean and sanitary and have been instructed to stay home if they are not feeling well.

  • At events where food is offered, Robinson staff will serve all guests in the buffet line rather than guests self serving.

  • We have increased signage around our facility with reminders about keeping yourself and others healthy.

Helpful reminders for everyone: Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly and always before eating or drinking.

  • Wash for at least 20 seconds with soap and water and use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to kill germs.

  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, mouth and face with unwashed hands.

  • Cough or sneeze into your elbow or into a tissue. If you use a tissue, dispose of it in the trash immediately.

  • If you have any cold or flu symptoms, or are not feeling well, please stay home. We look forward to welcoming you back to the movies when you’re feeling better.

  • If you are a person at high risk for serious illness from COVID-19, please familiarize yourself with the Center for Disease Control’s recommendations for protecting yourself from transmission.

We will continue to monitor this developing situation closely and comply with recommendations and instructions from our local and state health departments. Please contact executive director Meghan Hochstetler at meghan@robinsonfilmcenter.org with any questions. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our film community as healthy as possible.
