Choosing Your Film

Renters are responsible for providing the film. Films over 135 minutes in length will incur additional charges. Supported formats include Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming platforms. If screening a film from a rental or subscription service, (e.g., Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, AppleTV+, Vudu, etc.), the renter must bring a device with the streaming platform installed or provide us with their login credentials. We request that renters deliver their film or login credentials 48 hours prior to their screening time for testing to ensure quality control.  Login credentials will be deleted from our system upon completion of the screening.

Cancellation and Rescheduling

Bedford Playhouse permits rental cancellations at any time, without penalty, up until 48 hours prior to the scheduled event. For cancellation requests with less than 48 hours’ notice, the renter may reschedule the event at no additional charge (one rescheduling permitted per rental). If the renter declines the rescheduling option, then Bedford Playhouse will retain 50% of the rental fee. If the renter cancels less than 24 hours in advance, they may reschedule at no additional charge or forfeit the entire rental fee.

All rescheduled events must take place within four weeks of the original event. Availability of particular showtimes or dates for rescheduled rentals cannot be guaranteed. If nothing is desirable or available within the four-week rescheduling window, the renter will receive whatever refund is available under the terms given above. Rental bookings are not transferable.
