    The Historic Earle Theatre offers self guided tours; operates as a movie theater and holds many performances. I've seen many performances here, mostly during Mayberry Days. The seats are comfortable and the audio is good. The staff has been friendly and there is a concession stand if you want popcorn, candy or a beverage. Parking is free in the nearby lots.

    Keeping the Disney tradition alive!

    The Earle is a fantastic local landmark and I've loved growing up hearing about all the local musicians that my grandparents would go to see there. As much as I wish the theatre was able to display more of the music history of the area, it does better than you would expect and it's worth checking out if you're just walking down main street. For locals, they offer free youth music lessons (guitar and fiddle for now) on Thursday where instruments are provided as well as flat-foot dancing at least once a month. As far as seeing a movie, expect reasonable prices, limited concessions, and extremely limited and random movies because it's a single screen theatre. The seating is limited and the chairs are obviously older, but they're reasonably compfortable. The sound system is also not the best around, but I've never had any real problem with it impacting my enjoyment of a movie. Sometimes they get a newer movie in thats out in major theaters, sometimes it pulls a movie thats a few years old, and sometimes it plays classics, no real rhyme or reason to the picks, but I've got to enjoy a lot of old favorites here as well as checking out the newest films. What really sets this theatre apart though is the old upper balcony seating! Just ask at the counter, and you can watch your movie from the upper balcony which is just really fun in such a small theatre. Overall, it's not the best movie viewing experience in town, but it gives you such a simple and classic 50s movie viewing experience that's lots of fun!

    It's all we have. I enjoy it when they have a new movie I wish to see . They have music and classics too.

    For date night we decided to go see the Michael Jackson movie. The parking lot is huge and has lots…read moreof handicap spaces in front of the building. You no longer pay outside at the window. You can buy your tickets ahead of time online or use the Kiosk inside the main lobby. Concessions is in the main lobby and they have a few registers going at once so there is no long lines usually. You have your normal movie theater choices, nothing out of the ordinary. They do have a few specialty alcoholic drinks available, as well as a frozen Jack & Coke. Everything is a bit pricey. The theater itself was clean and you have assigned seats so no rush. Seats are reclinable and very comfortable. Lightning in the back row was dim and my wife almost ended up landing on her ass trying to find her seat in the dark. Movie quality and sound were great! Definitely will be back but probably eat ahead of time or sneak in some snacks......yes that's a Latino move but it's ok because I'm Latino! Go catch a movie, you won't be disappointed!

    Went to see The Odyssey in the Imax theatre. We could barely detect any IMAX effect. It was so loud…read moremy Apple watch kept alerting me of sound level. I had to watch it with my ears covered. The quality of the film was not very good. I have been to several IMAX theatres that were a real IMAX experience. Dont waste your money on IMAX at The Grand in WS.

    We've been living in WS for over two years and we just discovered this theater!…read more I was checking movie showtimes when Marketplace Cinema popped up as the closest one. I was like, "Where is this???" We drive down that road all the time and had no idea it was even there! What we loved about it is that it's not one of those fancy theaters. It's an independent local theater that's definitely a little outdated, in the best vintage way! We don't need reclining seats or 3D to enjoy every movie. Sometimes all you want is a big screen and theaters like Marketplace Cinema are getting harder to find these days. The best part? Tickets were only $9 for us and just $7 for my college son! We'll definitely be back. I love finding and supporting local places like this.

    Greensboro meets Winston-Salem when The Idiot Box Comedy Club takes over Marketplace Cinemas. With…read more$7 shows, a wide variety of refreshments sold (from beer and wine to popcorn and assorted candies) and an all-male comedian roster, this was truly a treat that left its sold-out crowd guffawing and gagging, literally, over the deliverances of jokes that ranged from raunchy adult to downright childish and silly! These groups of comedians did not come to disappoint as they approached everything from crowd interactions to tongue-in-cheek monologues performed. Marriage, modern day behaviors and protruding manholes were just a boisterous bit of memorable subjects discussed, leaving the crowd both stunned and stuck in their seats, doubling over with laughter. Myself (and my friends that I brought along) arrived just 15 minutes before the sold-out show only to enter a jam-packed theater house full of comedy-lovers. Seated directly in the front row (because there were absolutely no other available seats), I confess to feeling a tad bit anxiety over the possibility of becoming one of the comedians' targets to tease... but as the show commenced, I/we was/were left more than thrilled to have the best seats in the entire house! Would I go again when these "idiots" return to the soapbox & silverscreen in Salem? Uhhh, duhhhhh! Should others be sure to check out whenever they do make their way back to perform? At that affordable price, you'd be an idiot not to!
