The Roxy Theater has 650 seats and is one of only 600 independent theaters remaining in the United States. It's top of the line with DLP Cinema to showcase your film on the big screen in front of a packed theater. The Roxy Theatre started out as the Lyric Theatre, founded by Harry Hartman, who first opened its doors on February 1st, 1921. Harry was a businessman who wanted to provide more seating and larger stage accommodations for vaudeville performances. The theatre would later be sold to Clark and Greenberg Theatres of Philadelphia during the spring of 1933 due to the great depression. They would renovate both the interiors and exteriors before re-opening the theatre and giving it the name we know today: "The Roxy". During its first season, the Roxy would continue vaudeville on the stage, including wild west shows, minstrels, and local productions. The late fifties saw the return of live entertainment on Roxy's stage, which included the famous teen idols of the time: Bobby Vinton, Bobby Rydell, and Fabian. In the early sixties, after a decade of fierce competition from Television, Clark and Greenberg decided to give up their lease on the theatre, and it was acquired by Angstadt and Wolfe Theatres on June 1st, 1970. They reintroduced concerts, plays, magic shows, dance recitals, and weddings, which featured artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Blood Sweat & Tears, Martin Mull, Alex Harvey Band, KISS, and many others. In 1988, Angstadt and Wolfe Theatres partner Richard C Wolfe acquired complete ownership of the theatre through a new corporation, Roxy Management Company, Inc. More restorations would take place until 2010, when the final one would take place.
