Get in losers, we're going to camp!⁠

In case you missed our Instagram announcement, we have new merch! We were feeling a little nostalgic for the days of childhood summer camps (and the old logo, because it felt like the right vibe) so we're inviting you to join Camp Metro for the summer.⁠ Currently only available for purchase in-person at the theatre.⁠

We wanted to bring you TWO shirt options. The first is a limited edition sunny yellow Camp Metro ringer tee. Once they sell out, they sell out, so get 'em while you can.⁠

If you're looking for something a little more laid back, we've also got some two-sided cream and green ringers that will be sticking around for a little while.⁠

Since the summer is shaping up to be a scorcher, we want you to stay hydrated at all times. Why not do so with some fun, custom Metro Cinema bubblegum pink Nalgene water bottles. Get them while it's hot, so you can stay cool!⁠

What would camp be without your cabin key? These vintage keychains come in four colours to choose from, and you'll (maybe) never lose your keys again. (Bonus points if you can guess the movie the quote is from without Googling it!)⁠

To round out the collection, we have some Lizard Boi (the non-copyright licensed name, if you will) totes to carry all your things in.⁠

And while not summer themed (but just for fun, because why not?) we also now have bumper stickers!

SPOTLIGHT: THE COEN BROTHERS⁠

Joel Coen and Ethan Coen are movie directors, producers, and screenwriters who have cultivated a bleakly comical, instantly recognizable voice with their films. With each film they have surprised fans and critics alike, always refusing to repeat themselves or compromise their independence.⁠

For part 2 of the spotlight we had some plans, including our partnerships, but we also took your suggestions into consideration!⁠
