This is my second PA drive in theater experience. There is usually another location that I go to so…read moreI cannot help but to compare. At first I was not really impressed ... minus the staff who was my actual first impression and they were very nice and cool. I was surprised we got there a few minutes before gates opened and the whole road was filled with a line to get in. They have one gate and let two cars enter. We had to buy tickets ahead of time and it was per person - not sure if this is common or just for this theater or just for special events. We went for the Godzilla Kong two day event. There is only one large theater and they gave us like no directions on where to park or what to do or anything. We got a spot pretty up close and it was not easy to see where to leave from - they definitely need more markers. I think they assume many people here are regulars but that was not the case and direction by mouth or way of sign would have been helpful. We felt so bad leaving and were not sure if we went out the "theater" correctly. They have a very small like merch stand and a very old snack stand that does have bathrooms- I got nervous seeing the port-a-potties. The bathrooms are very tiny and the stalls are even tinier so if you're claustrophobic (or a more plus sized person) it might not be super comfortable. They did have a decent amount of snacks and I like that they also sold vhs and vinyl inside. There were a bunch of cool displays for this event which I also enjoyed. I do not like that they didn't have radios to rent. Not really trusting using my car radio I did have to purchase a radio to be able to pair. They basically have an mc/dj who made a curated playlist and talked about the movies before hand. It didn't get dark until 9:15 - we only stayed for one movie because of how late it was and when we left we didn't realize how crowded it was. There definitely were some pros and cons to this theater- we'll probably be back mostly for convenience because it was a straight shot up 476 which made getting here really easy. It definitely is a bit more ... noticeably old and I don't know if they play new movies or not. But overall it was enjoyable. Next time we might stay close by when they have a triple feature like this.

This isn't just a movie experience. It's a party. We went for a celebrity event to introduce a…read morefestival of Mystery Science Theater movies. It was a clear night with a lot of cars, music, special events, costumes, and just a fun vibe throughout. The on-site radio station runs programming and music up to dusk and the start of the night. We listened from a warm SUV close to the screen and even though everyone was in their own little clusters, we all laughed and cheered loud enough to carry across the open field. The people running this show do it out of love for film, the drive-in experience, and the people who come to see these films. The movies are scheduled so it brings together fans of horror, fantasy, schlock, shock, and classic Gen-X flicks. Check out their podcast which can be linked on their website. In addition to a great concession stand, they've got cool swag and merch. The portable toilet experience is hit or miss, but that's a minor bit of 'roughing it' in exchange for the experience. When we were there, a concert was playing up the road and sometimes competed with the sound of the movies, but I didn't mind that so much as some entitled whine-factories. It's just like it felt back toward the end of the golden era when I was growing up in the 70s and early 80s. Movies on a big white screen outside among a thousand close strangers. Definitely worth the drive if you're between New York and DC.

The amiable staff and fantastic ambiance contribute to the overall appeal. Although I mainly came to watch a great movie, it was the theater itself that truly captivated me during my initial visit. I am eagerly anticipating future trips back!

The Roxy is one of those places you take for granted--until it's gone. The historic and beautiful…read moreart deco theater has been open since the 1920s. I remember seeing movies there as a kid and I am pleased to be able to see live shows as an adult. (They still show current movies at the crazy low price of $4.) As old time theaters go, the Roxy is on the small side. But its grand art deco design and decor rivals any larger playhouse. Anywhere you look--the walls, ceilings, stage--you are reminded that generations of theater-goers sat in that same spot for over a century. It's nostalgic, cozy and magical. We have lost so many historic theaters in this area... this one deserves the public's support. Because of it's smaller size, there's not a bad seat in the house. We were seated halfway down the aisle, on the furthest right of three sections, and had no difficulty seeing every inch of the stage. Seats, while not luxurious, were comfortable. The theater does its best regarding accessibility. Though, it might be a challenge to navigate the small lobby, where the refreshment bar is, when filled with people. There is a dedicated wheelchair section in the theater, but also enough space to wheel down the aisles. As I understand it, there are restrooms on the first level, but also a small ladies (2 stalls and a tiny sink) up a narrow flight of stairs. The snack bar is limited with popcorn, candy and a variety of drinks. The butter seemed fresh, but I was a bit disappointed that my popcorn wasn't hot. I don't know a thing about "acoustics", but from my seat, the sound level was perfectly fine and the singing was clear. Overall we had a lovely time and look forward to returning for more live shows. (Up next: a live performance of The Nutcracker ballet!)
