Moffett Field is an active base and photo ID is required to enter. The Moffett Field Museum is a must see to relive the time when air shops, capable of holding more than five 747's moved through the skies. The museum has all military uniforms for all the services of the time. Static and interactive displays show life in the Air Ship era. EXAMPLE - an Air Force Uniform which copied US Navy uniforms. EXAMPLE - displays showing the magnificence of Air Ships and their tragic history is all in photo displays.DOCENTS are there to explain the displays and the flight trainers. NICHOLAS VERONICO was there and signed his book on Moffett Field for us. SPEND TIME - Talk with the docents - try out the trainers - read all of the information charts on all of the displays - ask questions. Take a tour outside to see some Spy Planes and listen to their history. SEE THE MAMMOUTH SHELTER FOR THE AIR SHIPS AND BE AMAZED AT THIS MASSIVE STRUCTURE. There are simply to many people to recognize but all of the docents are simply a wealth of knowledge and worth taking time to listen to their presentations.

Haven't been to this theater for many years. It was a pleasant experience to return to this Mountain View Theater with it's upgrades. The reclining lounge chairs are first class and the sound not overbearing. It's easy to park and being able to make a reservation on line saved time standing in line for tickets. Parking was easy to find, and it's close to the freeway. People are friendly and there are plenty of things to eat or drink and games to play. I definitely will be back again.

We have seen two performances fro this theater group — Pride & Prejudice - the Musical, and The Pianist of Willesden Lane. Both were exceptional. This theater company wrote the music and lyrics for Pride and Prejudice, and they were wonderful! The talent of the performers was professional and polished, and the sets were magnificent. The Pianist of Willesden Lane was one of the best performances I have ever seen, and absolutely the best for a one-performer show. The artistry of Mona Golabek combined with the artistry of the stage set, the framed videos from the 1940s, and the synchronized orchestral accompaniment to Ms. Golabek’s piano were stunning. All this combined with the very moving true story of one person’s struggle for both survival and artistic passion during one of humanity’s bleakest times made an inspirational story come to life. And Ms. Golabek’s talented piano artistry, unhampered by her simultaneous monologue of her mother’s story, was a feat that could not be easily accomplished by most accomplished pianists. I cannot say enough good about this performance to give it the credit it deserves. I will definitely return to this theater.

1st time at the Icon, to see Parasite on the big screen (not a huge fan of subtitles on the TV). The film was terrific - know now why it won Best Picture at the Oscars -and the theater was very comfortable. The typical reclining reserved seats, heated (which is nice), and with plenty of space for folks to pass by even when fully reclined (which is great!). Also appreciated is the selection of wine, beer and spirits in the lounge, which one can bring into the theater. They had sonething like 4 chardonnays, but at the suggestion of the bartender (because she asked for a dry wine), my wife chose a sauvignon blancql that she really liked (and a quite generous pour!). And the screen from the 2nd row (B5 & 6) was fine!
