It is recommended that you refrain from any sun exposure after a chemical peel. What this means is that you should avoid long term, direct sun exposure (sunbathing, tanning, etc.) To avoid the sun totally is unrealistic. You are exposed to sun rays while you are driving in your car, rays come through your windows at home and at work, and rays are present even on cloudy days. Just do the best you can. I think your short outdoor exposure described above will be just fine.

Sorry, I meant to say that I will be walking OUTSIDE to go INTO the theater.. =) Forgive the "stupid" question. I just dont know if any sun damage can occur with just walking breifly outside with a hoodie on. I Cannot use any sunscreen yet until next Tuesday....
