We think this idea of having a drive-thru performance is pretty fantastic. We especially love it because a former box office student and UC Berkeley grad, Yuval Sharon, is the Artistic Director of Michigan Opera Theatre - Detroit Opera House! Let us know, would you try a Drive-Thru performance? https://www.detroitnews.com//film-of-twilight-/5991321002/
