There were 4 kids and 3 adults and we all had a great experience. This theatre offers plenty of space to social distance (we sat in row F) and the chairs were comfortable, although, I did wipe each one down with Clorox wipes (safety first). I was pleasantly surprised about how clean the theatre was, from the entrance and until we got inside the actual theatre. I brought Clorox wipes and my own snacks, since most reviews said it was dirty and the food was stale. I was even hesitant when I entered the theatre because of the reviews. I’m not sure why there have been so many bad reviews about this theatre. You may find one visit is not enough to fully appreciate it. You will likely see relics from your own past and fondly remember your earliest experience with radio and TV equipment long forgotten but beautifully preserved here.
Our docent regaled us with information and descriptions of early radios to include consumer trends and how the various manufacturers marketed their new technology. I had no idea there was such a thing as a mechanical television. The treasures include ham radio and commercial radio as well as the earliest television sets of the 1950s. David Greene, I believe, guided us through the displays spanning the history of radio and telegraph communications from its inception to today's technology. Everything is in pristine condition and presented in interesting groupings. The building is full of vintage radio and television equipment from the 1920s through modern day.
It's well worth the effort to visit this small, "out of the way" location.
