Although the lot wasn’t designed for pickup trucks and SUVs, with judicious parking, it can hold 700 vehicles. Vogel is at the theatre every night and enjoys any Alfred Hitchcock movie, particularly “The Man Who Knew Too Much.” However, he also favors films that evoke the sound of joy. “I love comedies,” he added. “I love hearing people laugh. And, the best part of owning the theater is every night at sunset. It’s just awesome. Show start is the best.” Check the website, bengies.com, for movies, showtimes, regulations, and procedures.
