**We strongly encourage you to speak with other teachers in your district and coordinate your field trip on the same date, if possible. The Grand may book multiple schools at the same time/date to meet the minimum attendance. Each school will be notified of this upon booking. The first school that books the time/date will receive first preference of the movie and will be notified if other schools will be scheduled along with their booking.
A teacher or administrator must complete the booking form on behalf of the school or by emailing the theatre directly at grandtheatrestamford@gmail.com. This includes providing a total number of attendees expected and age range or students, along with the movie selected. We offer a limited number of school field trip slots per semester. Booking well in advance is highly encouraged.
Film Choices: Schools may choose to choose their own film, less than 2 hours in total runtime. You may choose to bring the DVD or Blu-ray copy with you, or you may also choose a film from our limited DVD library the theatre. We do not allow private showings of films currently showing at our theatre. Schools assume responsibility for rights to show the film.
