We walked in and were greeted by the friendliest people. They serve beer and I think wine, as well as other drinks like sparkling water and kombucha. They also have your classic movie snacks and popcorn, and seasonings to add to your popcorn. There are two theaters, and we were in the one downstairs. It's adorable, and feels like you're in a cozy, comfy basement watching a movie. It's all comfy couches and was so cute and cozy! This theater shows lots of independent films, and I was so happy to be able to support such a lovely hidden gem in Vermont!

The Savoy is a Vermont treasure. There are two screens: an old-fashioned theatre upstairs and a…read moresmall, cozy one downstairs (the squishy couches downstairs have been replaced by more comfortable ones). Several films are scheduled per week, with staggered show times. In addition to the modest admission price, the Savoy relies on memberships to stay afloat (an apt metaphor, since they have been ravaged by terrible Montpelier floods in recent years); local patrons are very loyal. If you hear about an indy film that you think will never get shown in Vermont, wait a couple of weeks, and it will come to the Savoy.

I went there planning on taking my grand daughters to see The Barbie Movie . So I bring a 100…read moredollar bill ..so we could go out to eat later. My grandchildren ended up getting there early because their dad decided he wanted to go too. He paid they were seated. When I got there, the old man Ray was so rude..He treated me as if I was trying to pull something by handing him 100 for my ticket and snacks,,,, He told me he wasn't going to take my money.. I asked "why?" and he got snotty and just said no Im not letting you in here... No explanation,, So I said " Okay if I walk 4 blocks to my car in the snow to get my card will that work?" So that's what he made me do and miss 1/4 of the movie he just made me pay full price for, He ruined our entire night,,,What a rotten man with the personality of a poorly raised teen.

Chris M. wrote a great review of The Playhouse Theater and I have no argument with him. However,…read moremy experiences with this place date back a very long space of time. I was two, I was later told, when I saw my first movie there. Somewhat unsure of how I might react at that age, my parents watched me closely for the first twenty minutes or so. They need not have worried. I was enthralled! Who would not be ... at any age ... as the film was DUMBO and the year was 1942 (film was released the year before). In those days, Jack and Gertie Champlain owned and ran the place; the films changed three times a week (usually Thursday was the "dark day") and our family seldom missed seeing a film there. Flash forward an eon or two. I have now lived non-stop in Manhattan (that's not the one in Kansas, Dorothy!) since 1963. Thanks to Chandler Music Hall (my temple and refuge for nearly all of my growing up years) and to Jack and Gertie with their movies, I've now toiled in the fields of theatre, film and television since February 20, 1968! I have a small agency since that date where I've represented actors, writers of almost every stripe, photojournalists (in the first fifteen years or so), directors, a scenic designer, stage managers ... the whole shebang. Truthfully, there have been days when you could have bought the agency from me for $1.29 ... but, over-all the memories are terrific -- and for a kid from Randolph, the experiences I've had are enviable. People learning of my true age express some dismay. "You could have retired years ago! When will you finally do that?" My response is genuine, I assure you. "The day they throw dirt in my face!" Best to all! L.R.C. PS: Like truly GOOD movies? Here are three to consider (in my book): JASON BOURNE (damned if Matt Damon hasn't done it again, against heavy odds, be assured.) ANTHROPOID -- absolutely brilliant film about the early Nazi era right after they rolled over the Czechs. Disturbing and riveting. If light-hearted fare is your only preferred dish, don't eat here! FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS -- a true story about a real lady. Another Oscar for Meryl Streep may very well be in the offing. Good to great cast in support of her awesome performance. Take those damned recyclable bottles back and scrape together the coin to buy a ticket ... and GO! PPS: I did NOT put that absurd comment after my five star rating, readers. I've tried to delete it, but ... "they" have to muck it up somehow! Whatever "hip editor" who did this may die of "terminal cuteness" ... please!

The experience is usually very good, but sometimes you can hear the sound from the next theater, which can be annoying. The seats are Ok. The prices are reasonable, but they're cash only. But there's an ATM in the lobby. I've been to movies where the theater is empty and packed. During the winter (ski season) and summer rainy days will be crowded, so get there early when new movies come out. Otherwise it's easy to get a seat. They have the typical concession stand, but where they're different is they have a full bar, including local hard ciders and beers. You can't beat that. And some movies I've been to someone will come in during the movie to take your order. How great is that?!

After visiting this theater twice over the holiday weekend, I have decided I will not be back. Both…read moretimes (Saturday & Sunday) it took at least 30 minutes for us to get concessions. THIRTY MINUTES. If you arrive to see a movie on time, you are going to miss the beginning. Imagine paying full price for a movie and then missing the entire first act because you were waiting in line to get popcorn. Oh, and if you were hoping to get literally anything else, too bad because they were out. Candy? Sold out. Slushies? Nope. Medium drinks? Out of cups. BE SO FOR REAL. How were you not more prepared for a busy holiday weekend??? Honestly, it was absolutely ridiculous. Not only was the wait for food a joke, but the theater itself was disgusting. There were bits of popcorn on every visible inch of the carpet. Trash cans were OVERFLOWING with garbage. Giving one extra star because at least the AV was acceptable. However, I'll save myself the thirty minutes waiting in line and just drive to another theater. p.s. what is with the "luxury" chairs? are they supposed to move at all? are they all broken? basically there are buttons that do nothing. you're welcome.

She chose a movie so we purchased the tickets and stood in line for concessions , The line was long , I did notice there was only one person running the register and two people retrieving drinks and food .

In other words , the concession stand needs some organization to run smoothly. All in all it was a great experience and the movie was awesome !
