The GRAND is now a tool store…they removed the siding, etc and the original black and white painted wall shows now! It reads, “GRAND THEATER…Matinee—Talkies”. I took tons of pics of the wall, now I just have to get time to upload them!
The latest news from the Pitman newspapers is that the woman who owns the HARWAN (Mt Ephraim, NJ) is buying the Broadway. Let’s see how it goes! If she does buy it, all of us who sent money to keep the Broadway open will have the money returned )in case anyone was wondering.)

Well, you KNOW what RHPS does to a theater….those of you old enough (like me) to remember the seventies! Rice everywhere, water, candles, toilet paper, etc! (lol)
Fever I thought the SAME thing!! I thought for sure Rowan students might be already going there, but maybe not!
I thought showing Rocky Horror might be a good idea too, but I spoke to the woman who worked in the office there (at the Bway) and she said they didnt want to mess the theater up (anyone who remembers what it was like attending RHPS knows what she means!)
I noticed this theater on my bus ride to Philly (400 bus, Transit of NJ), it goes right past the theater! The carved Indian-style elephants on either corner are amazing!
I see there is no pic, I will try to get one taken and submit it here. I live about 20 mins from this theater, I TOO would like to see it restored to its former glory!
My husband is in Pitman as we speak, picking up a pizza from Gianna’s (can you tell me love their pizza? lol)
Anyway, he went to the theater about a half hr ago. The theater IS still open, they ARE still showing movies at regular times, and the pricing is now five dollars per person for shows.
They have teamed up with something called GALAXY THEATERS (not sure if this is just another theater or a company of theaters). Either way, they REMAIN OPEN.
If anyone wants more info, plz email me…I will be finding out whatever I can and passing it along here as I get it.
Happy, I was in the pizza place (Giannas) at Pitman and Bway when we saw the long line outside that day, going all the way down to Bob’s Hobbies and Crafts. We were wondering why the line was not moving even close to 3! Now I know why.
I am worried about the Broadway. I moved to the Pitman area from Philadelphia two yrs ago, and discovered the Broadway. Since then I have tried to go there as much as possible, for movies, special events, etc
But lately they have had financial difficulties, and today I tried calling the phone numbers and they are disconnected! The theater REALLY needs help to stay open, the owner filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy about 6 months ago. I dont know what is going on, the phones are down yet yesterday I went by and there was a line clear around the corner for a special showing of the film GREASE!
My grandfather was a janitor at the TROC when it was a burlesque house (1940s). LOL!

Admissions for regular movie showings are 5 dollars for all.
Special showings have diff prices.

Just did a search on this site, and this MAY be the company they teamed up with.

I’m not sure, so don’t quote me on it, but it sounds right!

The last I lived in South Philly, there was a Gino’s fastfood restaurant on the Broadway site. I didnt know there is now a Walgreen’s!
