Medway Commons Drive-In – A Taste of Normalcy

Series Continues Monday nights in Sept., Portion of Proceeds to

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-TALK)

By J.D. O’Gara

In a time where most events

are being canceled, Medway

Commons in August began offering

drive-in movie nights, beginning

at 8:30 p.m. The space can

accommodate 46 vehicles, with

a charge of $10 per vehicle, and

a portion of those proceeds will

help support the National Suicide

Prevention Lifeline (1-800-

273-TALK). These will continue

into September, scheduled for:

• Monday, September 7th-

Jurassic Park (Rated PG-13)

To attend, you must make

advanced reservations on Eventbrite

and either bring a printed

copy of your ticket or have your

ticket ready to present on your

smartphone via the Eventbrite

pass for check-in.

• Vehicles will be allowed entry

starting at 7:30 p.m.

• Vehicles will be spaced 6 feet

apart. You must stay in the

space surrounding your vehicle.

• In case of inclement weather,

we will show the movie on

the next night (Tuesday).

“The whole idea behind the

drive-in was that the owners of

Medway Commons wanted to

give back to the community,”

said Colleen Stripp, Medway

Commons spokesperson, in mid-

August. Owners had done driveins

at their other property, The

Loop, in Methuen, with some

success, she said, continuing,

“People are just so cooped up in

their homes, and kids aren’t able

to see their friends. (It was) one

of the things you could do as a

family, to be with a group but still

be separated, even in or around

their car, and enjoy their time.”

Medway Commons’ Drive-

Ins will support the National Suicide

Prevention Hotline, in fact,

during National Suicide Prevention

Month, September.

“For mental health, this is

something to positive to look forward

to – being outside, which is

always great,” said Stripp. The

problem of suicide, she said, “is

something that doesn’t get a lot

of attention, but it’s important.

Everyone needs attention on

the physical as well as mental

health.”

In fact, Stripp added that one

anonymous person in August

reached out, expressing interest

in purchasing a large group

of tickets to one of the Drive-In

movies at Medway Commons.

The purchaser confided that they

recently “lost a family member

to suicide, and they would like to

quietly honor their family member

while spreading good karma

and awareness for suicide prevention,”

said Stripp.

Inclement weather pushed the

first Drive-in up a day, but on the

18th, Medway Commons was

raring to go with its first drive-in

experience.

“I think we’re all starving for

that feeling of normalcy. Anytime

we can grab it, it’s a good

thing,” said Stripp.
