I have spent many wonderful moments at the Keswick Theatre over several decades and I have always felt it was such a great venue to see a variety of entertainment. The size of the theatre and the acoustics is wonderful for the kind of diversified venues that have appeared and for those to come.

The Keswick first opened on Christmas Night 1928 and was given National recognition as being comfortable, acoustically perfect. The architect also created the most wonderful Philadelphia Museum of Art. In 1955, the Keswick was remodeled into a cinemascope film house and hosted premier releases. In 1980 the Keswick was to be demolished and was saved by The Landmarks Society with the hope for restoring the facility to open as a performing arts center. In 1981 the Keswick reopened and has hosted prestigious artists as Roberta Peters, Buddy Rich, Lionel Hapmton. The Keswick was then placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Keswick closed in 1985 because the Non-profit could not meet the expenses.
March 1988, The Keswick opened again under private ownership. During this time the theatre once again gained in reputation. The growth allowed the Keswick to join such venues as the The Chicago Theatre, Today’s Keswick is hosting a fantastic variety of entertainment …I am so happy to have it so close to home (There is even free parking)
