Beautiful historic theater. The show we saw here was great. The theater is small and quaint. Social distancing was in order even with general admission seating. Every seat had a great view of the stage.

I lived in the Radcliff area for a few years and never visited this theater, boy did I miss out!!! I recently attended the concert Lest We Forget that was benefiting the Radcliff Veterans Center. Before going, I went to the theaters website and read the history on this place; WOW!!!! If you dont know the history, I recommend you look it up, its amazing.This theater is SO beautiful and the fact that they restored it to its original condition, right down to the seats, if mind blowing.The sound was phenomenal in the theater! Everything was perfect! If you have an opportunity to visit, I highly recommend!!!

This one room screen is simply spectacular! Make a trip to see a movie and youll want to stay for the architecture and history (ask for the owner to show you around). This is a must stop while in town!

The renovations are very nice, for those that grew up here brings back lots of memories. Is a very nice atmosphere to see a show or movie though the seating is pretty tight. With the size of the venue seating would be good anywhere on the floor and balcony would not be bad. Easy to access and parking with the use of Cecilian bank next door and City Hall across the street is very manageable.

If you get an opportunity to attend an event, dont pass it up. This place has a long history that began back in 1942. The facility is always clean and well maintained. The staff are always courteous, helpful and happy. The food is good and they offer a wide and diverse schedule of events. They even have several large meeting rooms, staff a full kitchen, etc.. that can be rented. We have attended several shows, events and meeting here and I have always felt the prices were more than reasonable. I highly recommend this place, its definitely worth a visit.

The historic theater is out in Elizabethtown, Kentucky is practically in the downtown area on the North northeast side of downtown its an old theater its but its still got a lot of shows that they that they do bring in a lot of shows a lot of people during the Christmas during the Halloween season Seasons they have old movies to watch some movies back in the 60s and 70s and 80s everything is not nothing but the theater is a good place to have concessions are a little high I bring in your own conception that is in the way of soft drinks and popped popcorn in that let them provide but its a good place to old fashioned place with its run now thats the way movie theaters were thats what it what it was what led up to the things we have today good place good

The audio was splendid, with the combination of the loud speakers and the spacious room with an amazing echo effect, the place was easy to enjoy a movie in.

We saw the ghost and mr chicken. It was great to take my daughter to see a movie the way I saw it at her age. Bonus: movie tickets popcorn and drinks all for less than $20

This is a beautiful, historic place. The prices are incredibly low and there are such friendly people working there. We heard the Air National Guard band and they were great. Looking forward to watching some movies there.

As usual was a good time but there is always room for improvement would love to see management and the mayor get together on the nights of the big shows when it becomes necessary to park at City Hall crossing the street is dangerous I park there for handicap spots it would be nice to have a rollout cross walk and temporary signage with caution lights the extra lighting for illuminating street could be accomplished useing what looks like an old time stage light mounted on building

Good small town experience. Seated among neighbors, really, watching good old classics that eveyone enjoys. What a pleasure to watch wonderful American movies like White Christmas and Gone With the Wind. Was disappointed that Christmas 2016 there was no sing-a-long. Everybody missed that...its great fun!Prices great. Concession stand has improved greatly, from plastic bottled cokes to cold fountain drinks and even wine/beer! But will the popcorn EVER be hot?? Stay tuned! Staff is pretty nice.

I highly recommend this venue. The managers were very friendly and very easy to work with. We celebrated our 20-year class reunion at this venue and my classmates were amazed to see what theyve done with the theater. The prices are VERY reasonable and the building is very clean and kept well maintained! Please be sure to consider this place for your next event.

Review №53

Theater itself was nicely maintained and pretty. However, the troupe that performed Rocky Horror was an absolute disgrace to the cult classic. If you plan to go see it, dont waste the $20. I have never before in my life walked out of a show at intermission, but if I had to do it again I would never have entered the building.

Classic theater with a small concession stand. The movie screen is a bit smaller than today’s theaters. However, for low price movie tickets and decent seating, you really can’t complain.
