Geneva Stage — Local services in Lake Geneva

My husband and I went here for the very first time a day ago. It was not a very good experience. The movie started at 9:05 and we were not even let in to be seated until after that time. We showed up about 15 minutes prior to when the start of the movie was supposed to be and got so tired of standing there waiting that we wandered in and out of the theater out into the street several times and at one point there was not even an attendant anywhere in sight. The theater atmosphere was hot and sticky and the seat backs are so high the small children sitting in the row behind us could not see the screen. Also my husband asked to buy one of the beers on display and the attendant told him there was a problem with the liquor license and she could not sell it to him so we are unclear as to why they're on display as if they are going to be sold. There was a supply room door hanging open and it made the place look unkempt. I doubt if we will...

I've been here on many occasions where there was a major issue.

There have been multiple scheduling mistakes for movie times. On my most recent encounter of this, the showtime of the movie I went to see had to be pushed back 20 minutes because the previous movie was still showing. Other times they have different showtimes on their website and their Facebook.

The worst experience I had here was when I saw Black Panther. The sound quality of the movie was horrible. Like grocery store loudspeaker from 20 years ago level horrible. When we informed the employees, they told us it was a stylistic choice for the movie. Yeah, I guess that's why the previews had the exact same issues too.

They often don't clean the theater between showings.

Otherwise, seats are really comfortable, and the snack options are decent. But I intend to drive the extra few miles to go to a quality theater...

We recently had a private event at the Geneva theater and could not have asked for a better experience. We hosted an Oscars party and the team at Geneva Theater (especially Marie and AJ!!) were extremely accommodating and were willing to do everything they could to make the party a success!! Complete with a red carpet experience, private videos shown on the theater screen and being super attentive and flexible during the show itself. The party went off without a hitch thanks to them!!!! I would highly recommend Geneva Theater for any private parties!!! Couldn't have gone better. Thank you Marie, AJ and Geneva theater team!!! We will...
