The owner Joanne makes you feel like you are part of her family. The Nostalgia of the place is well worth the admission. The matinees are only $10 and the concessions are very very reasonable. Do yourself a favor take yourself back in time and watch a movie at the Clayton.

This is a GREAT throwback experience.
A true single screen theater, on the main street in a stereotypical small town U.S.A.
First run movies in this environment? Sure, of course! Matinee's? Yep. Online ticket ordering? Yes, indeed.
Single seat box office, small lobby with standard movie house concessions, they wouldn't possibly have the balcony open would they? Well, yes, yes they would indeed.
What's a balcony one might ask if they're under a certain age. Go find out at this theater!
It's a double aisle configuration with 4 seats on the outsides, and 7 or 8 seats in the center Isle, offset to help maintain the viewing experience.
The seats sit pretty low but are comfortable.
A large popcorn, large drink, and box of candy will run you about $15 bucks.
Tickets? Around $11 for adults, $9 for kids and seniors.
Pick up some memorabilia in the lobby, too. Sound was better than I expected.
LOVED, going back in time, even if just for a couple of hours!

I had a wonderful experience here. The prices were very reasonable, the popcorn was great as well as the atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and the theatre was very clean. I will definitely be back.
