Sellersville Theater 1894

FINALLY... I made it to the Sellersville Theater.  Heard about it for at least 10 years.  I don't know why I didn't make it sooner, and of course, now there is regret.

Truly, an intimate setting, small venue, small stage and great sound.  

So, why won't a give it 5 stars.  The privileged parquet area, that's why.  I shouldn't have to commit to become a member of a theater to get the best seats available.  Yeah, whatever... it's simply how I feel.  In this day and age of the few and privileged only being able to get good seats, I'd like to see the Sellersville Theater remove this privilege.  It's a no brainer if you live close by and have opportunity to frequent the theater.  If not, it makes no sense.  Just sayin', give everyone a fair chance.

That being said, they'd get 4.5 from me if I could.  Great space, VERY courteous staff and obviously well cared after.

I'll be back, even if I can't sit in the privileged parquet.

Oh yeah, do yourself a favor and SKIP the Washington House if you want to eat.  See my other review for details there.  Eek.

i really like this place for many reasons

i can get here in about 30 minutes, find a free place to park without too much trouble, sip a cocktail on the deck outside or in my cushy little seat and then sit back and enjoy a wonderfully intimate show in this gem of a venue

they do a decent job of booking an eclectic lineup of talent - have seen joan osborne, hoots 'n' hellmouth and the cowboy junkies here

my advice? if you can't score first-row seats/cabaret seats, no worries - just grab a seat in the back row - you are closer to cocktails/restrooms/merch - plus, there isn't a bad seat in the house. if you feel the need to get out of your seat to dance, there is a sliver of space behind that back row, fyi

as others have noted, if you like the keswick, you will like this place as well - even more intimate of a "listening room" with less hassle and waaaay shorter lines for the ladies room

a solid 4.5 stars

I really can not think of a better way to enjoy a musical performance.  Have been there 4 -5 times, Saw Roomful of Blues last night with a group of 8, everyone enjoyed the show / experience - we left looking at the calendar for what the next show we could go to was.
