MANSFIELD, CT — OK, get the pajamas ready. The Mansfield Drive-in Theatre is now open every night for the summer

Starting Friday (that's June 13th), the drive-in will be open every night for the summer, with the latest movies and double features on each of the venues three big screens.

Owner Janet Jungden said, "Not much has changed in over 70 years that the drive-in has been in operation. We still cater to families with kids in their PJs showing animated films, as well as playing action, comedy, and horror films for adults! Our classic snack bar still has the popcorn poppin’, the sodas pumpin’, burgers, dogs, slushies, fried dough and more."
