Thematically, this also makes sense because after the procession, the 
text says: "It is very late-three, my watch says." Three o'clock is the 
hour of Christ's death.

Additionally, the procession with the priest carrying the cross "like a 
crutch" is surely Good Friday.

When Ardis said "Tomorrow night the theater will be closed early for 
Easter." It is not unreasonable that she meant Easter weekend. And if 
the city has a large enough Catholic population to allow for public Good 
Friday processions, then it is not unreasonable that the theater to be 
closed IN THE EVENING on that day.
