Sellersville Theater 1894
A restored historic theater booking national touring acts year-round — with the Washington House's dinner-and-a-show pairing beside it.
The Theater Town
Living in Sellersville, Bucks County
A Pennridge borough with a nationally booked live-music theater on its main corner — small-town Bucks with a stage presence.
Sellersville has something no borough its size should have: a theater that national touring acts actually play. The Sellersville Theater 1894, joined at the hip with the historic Washington House restaurant and inn, books hundreds of shows a year — rock legends, comedians, folk icons — and pulls audiences from three states into a borough of under five thousand people. That one corner changes what living here means.
Around it runs a classic Pennridge borough: walkable streets of Victorians and workers' homes from the town's cigar-factory era, the East Branch of the Perkiomen threading its parks, and Lake Lenape's trails connecting toward Perkasie next door. Prices sit in the same friendly Upper Bucks range as its neighbor — with a marquee on Main Street as the bonus.
