My first time coming to this movie theater in years, and certainly since they renovated it. I went…read moreto college at University of Delaware so I did come to this movie theater location a little more often when I was younger, and it's kept its local college town charm while moving up to modern times. I went to a mid-day movie time during the work week so it was not crowded at all. I decided not to buy my tickets until I arrived due to the service fee of $3 and knowing I didn't have to worry about it getting sold out or not having seats that I would like. That's the number one change here that I appreciate and that's the selection of the seat. The main reason I cannot give this theater 5 stars is because while the seats function well the "leather" is severely damaged (at least they were in #5 theater). I also prefer the stadium seating though the recline of the seats do help to limit the seats in front of your row being in view. The bathroom was pretty clean and immediately after the show ended the staff was cleaning; not much since was only 4 people in my movie showing. Overall a good local theater that provides everything one would expect.

Speakers crack, the ceiling rattles and just makes the experience simply not enjoyable. Prices are incredibly high. Nachos, 3 boxes of candy, 4 chicken fingers and 2 drinks $60. Not counting the $40 in tickets for 3 people. Streaming services are winning! I don't know who chimed in about the theater just being redone. If that is redone it must have been scary before. All the seats were excessively worn. Some so bad they had holes in them. Overall very disappointed.

Just saw Mel Brooks "the Producers". First was the dinner. It has been a long time that we were somewhere that our server was also in the play and seemed so genuinely glad we were there. Food was surprisingly good. Served hot and well cooked for all of the offerings. Service was fun every time someone came to the table. Oh by the way there is an excellent bar with a bar tender that certainly has earned his stripes. Now the Show. This has always been one of my favorites, a go to for on demand. Being in this theatre, watching these talented actors made the time go by so fast we wanted more. I found myself leaning in to the dancing and singing and it was spectacular. The sets, the props, the costumes, the lighting, the sound, and being able to just plain enjoy made the night. They have special one night performances as well. These show are such a fantastic value. By the way seating is one of the things I really liked. We were seated with 4 other people that we left as our new friends.

The stage is relatively long and narrow, with lawn seating on both sides. (Bring your own blankets or lawn chairs). The cast was excellent, with high energy. The sound quality was good, which can sometimes be tricky for outdoor shows. This play is not one of Shakespeare's longest, so you get out at a decent hour. Arriving early means you'll have more choice in where you sit. Also, there are fun performances on stage before the actual play. You can bring food, beverages, etc and have a picnic dinner before the show. Bring bug spray. They sell soft drinks, beer & wine, food, and some dessert times, as well as t-shirts, etc.

The concession area is usually messy, and no one seems to know where the line is when approaching for food or popcorn... Is there one line, two lines,... Who knows people just walk up randomly. The concession associates are usually friendly. Sadly, only two people working the concession stand on Saturday when we were there to see Spider-Man and it was chaos. The people coming in tried to walk directly to the food area when there were already people in line. The associates at the registers act like they would rather be somewhere else every time we are there. This time was no exception and the associate forgot to ring up our drinks. When I showed her my receipt and that the icees and water were not on the receipt, she acted like we were bothering her. I was shocked to learn the Icees are now almost $10 each. I think that is ridiculous and the owners should reconsider how much they are charging. People are trying to bring their families to the movies and who can afford $10 icees if you have a few kids or kids and their friends?? Spent $50 just on concessions.... Of course we didn't have to buy snacks, but who wants to go to a movie and not have popcorn and treats?? I understand it's a personal decision of what you buy or even going to the movies, but just wanted to make others aware that the prices at this location are high. I believe the Icees at Cinemark near the Christiana Mall are around $5 and they also have combos with popcorn, candy, and drinks. That's where we're going next time! Very frustrated with the experience, but we still enjoyed the movie and had a nice time so three stars.

I let the employees know that there was a toddler and expected them to remove the child and parent from the theater because they are supposed to check IDs for the 17+ age requirement and clearly that wasn't done (and a toddler of that age can't consent or choose to see this type of movie; they are forced to). The parent and group were approached by management and nothing came of it. They allowed a toddler to witness a horror film and for the rest of the theater to hear the child's noises throughout the film. I won't be going back. I expect an R rated film showing at 10pm to be child free, and children shouldn't be subjected to the scenery in such a film. Completely unacceptable on the parts of the theater workers and the parent(s) of the child.

There's people directing it all and you park in the open grass in neat rows. All that said, I probably wouldn't go again. I feel like it's a given they'll be long lines at any horror attraction. 3 stars not because I had to wait so long but because the haunted areas were just not worth the wait. The actors were fun though, built off my groups comments and leaned into it. Ideal if you don't want to be terrified but just a little anxious. I was just left unimpressed by the hayride and indv houses/areas. I can look past the long lines, that's the case anywhere but just a little worst here. I think all the waiting really killed the mood and excitement. I believe tickets are only Friday-Sunday so no weekday options to avoid crowds.

We wound up tapping out because we were hungry but we didn't have a chance to really experience anything else.

Historic Everett Theater in Middletown, DE started out as a movie theater in the 1920's, when film…read morewas the popular pastime in the US and abroad. The theater went on to make more history as the setting for the 1989 film "Dead Poet's Society" with Robin Williams and Robert Sean Leonard (along with a local private school St. Andrews.) Today, the theater has been restored (after nearly losing it on several occasions) and is used for showing films and as the stage for local theater events. The Manhattan Short Film Festival is hosted here. When that festival first came out, the Everett was one of only 26 locations in the US but now there are 500 venues worldwide; still it's a big deal. If you like new and innovative films, put that September event on your calendar. Several local theater groups put on shows at the Everett. Most recently GP&L (Gods Power & Light), a theater group that has been around for 30 years, put on "Jesus Christ Superstar" and the general consensus was that the production was out of this world. The small stage is intimate, the seating, including the balcony, are the old style velvet covered theater seats and very comfortable. Future products-- Junie B Jones, All Shook Up and The Music Man (Jr) are slated for later this summer, along with theater camps for those 12-18 yrs old. If you are in or around Middletown, Delaware and looking for some entertainment possibilities, we are very blessed to have an old-timey movie theater with films and live shows. Several good restaurants, an ice cream, a pretzel spot and an Irish pub are all in the vicinity. Put it on the list for a fun date night or taking the kids to a show.
