Media Theatre

The Media Theatre for the Performing Arts is a non-profit organization that has been operating as the only professional music theatre in Delaware County since the year 2000. Located in downtown Media on beautiful State St., The Media Theatre was originally constructed in 1927 as a vaudeville house also featuring “talkies”. The ornate physical structure of the Media Theatre certainly represents the historic presence and unique value of downtown Media.

For two decades, The Media Theatre has been producing a Broadway Series of musicals with actors who are members of Actors Equity Association. Media Music Theatre Company produces the productions at the non-profit professional venue. There is also a full season of children's programming, including shows on weekends, plus educational opportunities for youth and adults throughout the year.

Jesse Cline is the Artistic Director. Under his leadership, the theatre company has won 72 Broadway World Award  "Best of Philadelphia Theatre" Excellence Awards, including "Best Theatre Company" of Philadelphia. It has also received "Best Of" honors from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Delaware County Daily Times, Main Line Times, Delco News Network, and several other media outlets. New York Daily News refers to it as 'the cultural anchor of Delaware County'. It has been honored by the US Congress in Washington D.C., the Pennsylvania State Senate, and Delaware County Council.

Children’s programming is also an essential element of the Media Theatre’s artistic and educational efforts. The combination of a strong Children’s Series of 5 productions annually, an acclaimed popular summer camp program, and a well-respected School of Theatre allow for a strong outreach program to a vast array of young people in our community. There are also opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities, as seen by the State Street Miracles performance troupe.
