Tickholders will receive a refund. According to the statement, “If you purchased a 3-event pass, you will receive a refund for the price of the two performances plus fees on your credit card statement in 7-10 business days. Your original ticket to the screening will still be valid at Music Hall of Williamsburg.” A screening of Mulholland Drive, which is sold out, will go on as planned at Music Hall of Williamsburg.
