Opened as the twin screen Shawano Cinema I & II on June 30, 1989. a fourth screen was added in the late-1990’s. On September 30, 2000 a 150-car capacity drive-in theatre was added. This unusual indoor/outdoor theatre combination contains a hardtop four-screen building (the Shawano Cinema I,II,III & IV) and the single-screen drive-in Moonlight Outdoor Theatre. The Moonlight’s screen was salvaged from the now-razed 57 Outdoor Theatre in Grafton.

The Shawano Cinema I & II opened its doors on June 30, 1989 with “Honey I Shrunk The Kids” and “Tummy Trouble” in Screen 1 and “Il Pet Seminary” in Screen 2. A third screen was added a short time later.
On July 20, 1996, the locally-based Keller Structures Incorporated had announced that the theater will expand to six screens. But unfortunately it later turned out to be just one screen in the late-1990s, making a total to four screens.
The 150-car Moonlight Drive-In opened its gates on September 30, 2000, with its 34x88ft screen being salvaged from the now-razed 57 Outdoor Theatre in Grafton which closed after the 1985 season.
