This is one of just a few drive-in theaters left in Wisconsin. The Moonlight screen was salvaged from another Wisconsin outdoor theater and placed near the local indoor theater to create this drive-in. The Moonlight offers bleacher seating and plenty of space for pre-movie games and Frisbee throwing. A trademark “shack” serves everything from grilled food to pizza. So, pick a warm summer night, grab a parking spot in one of the rows, settle in the front seat or wrap up in a blanket outdoors, crank up the sound system, and enjoy an outdoor movie experience Americans have loved for decades. It’s located next door to Shawano Cinema which has 4 screens showing current mainstream Hollywood films, 1494 E. Green Bay Street, For current movies call the hotline, 715-524-3636, or check their Facebook Page.
The murals colorfully adorn exterior walls of local businesses depicting the village’s history, past and current community members, a tropical island, a Warhol-esque set of postage stamps, a pool game, oldtime hardware store, a tribute to firefighters and EMTs, family pets and their owners, and more. Don’t miss the 2013 mural, an enormous tribute literally and figuratively – to the Green Bay Packers and their fans. In addition, there is an art space outdoor sculpture garden outside the WOWSPACE, a lovingly restored historic pharmacy building where art shows, musical performances and live theater take place.
