The Broadway Theatre is still undergoing cleanup for restoration under new owner Peter Slack. Anyone interested in volunteering to assist in the cleanup process can call Slack Inc. at 856-848-1000. Some of you are probably already involved in this but I thought I’d post it anyway in case somebody hadn’t heard. Can you think of anything better than participating in bringing this jewel back to its prime!!!
Hi Jason,
I grew up in Washington Township and spent most Saturday afternoons attending matinees at the Broadway Theatre. Many fond memories there but my favorite memory came years later. I think it was in the 1970s (it’s hard to remember when you’re getting as old as dirt!) when live country music performers were being booked to play here. The acoustics were unbelievable and the excitement of seeing big stars in such a small venue made it feel almost like a private party. My whole family saw Ronnie Milsap at one show and Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin brothers at another. And after the Gatlin brothers show, we actually got to talk with them when they went across the street to the Pitman News Agency to grab a bite to eat!
Can’t wait to see the Broadway reopened in the near future.
Hi Beth – Yes, you’ll find cameras galore at the Tower. Only time there might be a problem is if the performing artist prohibits them. If you want to see some great photos of the Tower as well as the St. Patrick’s Day James Blunt concert there you might look at: http://dbh.smugmug.com/gallery/1297813.
I didn’t take these photos but was at this concert…my first at the Tower. It will be far from my last…I’ve never been in such a wonderful concert venue. If you go, the seats in the first row of the Loge are magical. Enjoy!
