One of the only places to see any type of sizable event in Springfield and they've had and continue…read moreto have good shows here. That being said this place has some pretty big issues, at least to me. Their sound system sucks. Plain and simple. I went once and the building's PA system that they were speaking over was popping and cracking like a piece of wet firewood. I thought, "Surely they'll get that fixed before the next show, because that was no good." The next time I went to an event almost 6 months later they hadn't replaced the system and the speakers actually went out about 15 minutes into the show. Which pretty much ruined the whole night. Another time I was at a show there and went to the bathroom on the first floor. Every urinal and stall was taken but one. I opened the door and it looked like someone had backed into the stall after eating eating 50 Exlax laced White Castle Sliders and washed down with a couple of gallons of coffee and had their ass explode. It was one of the 3 nastiest things I've ever seen in person. I swear that the toilet had been filled to overflowing with crap and it was on the floor and walls of the stall. I didn't know that a single human being could hold that much feces. Either that or someone was running through the bathroom with a 5 gallon bucket of chilli, tripped,and dumped the contents into the toilet. At any rate, ever since that night the first floor men's bathroom at the Shrine Mosque no longer exists in my mind. It has been edited out of my universe. I realize that this was an isolated incident, but it was horrible. If I could have given 2.5 stars I would have, but it's not bad enough for 2 stars.

This building houses the Abou Ben Adhem Shriners which I am a member of. Where I understand a lot…read moreof people do not understand what the Shriners do, I'm not going to explain a whole lot of it here but would love to explain it to you if you have any questions and will also provide a link at the end of this to help explain more about that. The Shrine Mosque was built in 1923 and in 1982 was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Besides Shriner events it houses tons of other concerts and events. It almost seems that there is something going on every weekend there. I just helped out for the past two weekends as a clown at the Shrine Circus. It is a very unique old building that several of our past Presidents have visited and Elvis Presley even played. At the time it was built it was the largest Shrine west of the Mississippi and it's stage size was only second to the Metropolitan Opera stage in New York City. The main auditorium seating is right under 5,000 people with a basement area that other events are held at that can seat over 1,500. So next time you find your self at a concert, circus, or the "Vines at the Shrine" make sure you look up, around, and take in all of the nostalgia that makes this building a old gem in our city. oh ya, if you are curious about what the Shriners do and where we came from, here's a good link or you are welcome to just ask me... http://www.abashrine.com/info.htm

The new location for the Moxie has been, in my option, a huge success. The building layout makes…read moremore sense now--before, at the old location, you had to park behind the building (unless you could find street parking) and walk around the block to enter. Now you have the option of street parking, garage parking, or there's a parking lot directly across from the entrance. The inside of the theater itself has greatly improved, as well. It is much larger, the seats are a very comfortable, leather-like material, and the cup holders have two sizes built into it--one size that fits a glass bottle and a wider ring that fits a stemless wine glass. I'm much appreciative of small touches like these. This leads me to my next point, which I love about the Moxie: they sell alcohol. Forget popcorn (although their popcorn is great, too)--I cannot express enough how nice it is to treat yourself to a glass of wine or a beer while enjoying a movie. They also sell high-quality chocolates (ChocoLove is the main brand, I believe) in two sizes, and their concession prices are very reasonable. Wine is $5-7, beers are $3-6 or so. On a recent trip here, a friend and I got tickets for Magic in the Moonlight, the newest Woody Allen film. We showed up around 5ish minutes before the movie started, and there were only 4 seats available after we got our tickets. Unfortunately, there was a line waiting behind us, so some were turned away :(. When we entered the theater, there were only a few vacant seats that were all scattered. We were prepared to sit apart from each other, but a row of extremely kind people moved over to make room for the two of us to sit together. Also, a Moxie worker came in and brought two fold up chairs for two gentlemen who came in after us and couldn't find seats--true hospitality, in my mind. I cannot boast about the Moxie enough. It shouldn't be fair to compare it to other theaters in Springfield because they are not one and the same, but if you have visiting guests from outside of Springfield and they are looking to go see a movie, your first recommendation should definitely be here!

I had never been to the Moxie before, but I decided to go today because I heard that they had a…read morefree showing of The Lego Movie and thought me and my son would have a great time. The employees were friendly as we entered the foyer and helped us select our seats; however, they then informed us that "because it's a free showing masks are required". I paused and considered this information. I walked away in frustration, but ended up going back to ask for clarification questions. I got confirmation that if I PAY for a ticket to watch a movie, I would have the freedom to not wear a mask, but when there's no MONEY involved, apparently the science changes and suddenly masks are required to save everyone's lives. I won't start a debate over the validity of masks on this review, that's not the point. The issue I have is that they "recommend" masks for paying customers and "require" masks for non-paying customers. I imagine they'd be hard pressed to explain the "science" behind that decision. Again... employees were pleasant; policies... not. I will never return.

You can't expect to show up right when they open and get the front row on a super popular weekend. They have been very open that people have been getting in line early. We got in line at 5:30 and got a front row spot. * While we would like to support the Drive-In with food sales, we know that on busy nights it will take way too long so we bring our own dinner; which is awesome that they allow. Again, arrive early and it probably won't be an issue. * Security staff was very nice and helpful. We were concerned that kids would continue running around and playing in the playground equipment. The staff did a great job asking kids to get off of the equipment and sit down during the movie. * The audio seemed very low on the speakers. We will plan on bringing a radio with us from now on so that we will be able to hear better when not in the car. There are no speakers by the screen so the front row can actually be too quiet depending on the movie. Toy Story 4 was too quiet but Aladdin was fine. * Communication could be better from the Drive-In about capacity. They should really post updates throughout the evening on the number of spots left and especially when all spots are taken. My only real complain is that the light on the sign out front by the road is very bright and shines in your eyes when sitting in the front row. Hopefully they can find a very inexpensive and easy way to fix this, shouldn't be too hard to do and would really help. We are fortunate to still have a Drive-In in the area when so many have closed. Thank you for remaining open and providing a fun family friendly place for us to enjoy!
