Catch a Performance at the Fulton Theatre

You don't have to travel to New York City to see Broadway-caliber shows — just plan a getaway to Lancaster County. The Fulton Theatre is Central Pennsylvania's premier regional theater that first opened its doors in 1852. (It is thought to be the oldest continuously operating theater in America!) Today, 170+ years later, this National Historic Landmark continues to entertain, educate and delight audiences, bringing live theatre to more than 130,000 patrons annually.

Built on the site of a pre-Revolutionary jail, the Fulton Theatre has a storied history. Also referred to as the Fulton Opera House, it was named after Robert Fulton, Lancaster County's steam engine pioneer. The grandeur of its ornate Victorian architecture was beautifully restored in 1995 through a major renovation and expansion project. The 684-seat theatre features orchestra, mezzanine and gallery seating, including orchestra and balcony boxes near the stage.

Each season, the Fulton Theatre creates exceptional theater experiences for its audiences — and this year is no different. From on-stage musicals and experimental studio plays to workshops and apprenticeships, there is no shortage of top-notch productions to take in during your next getaway to B.F. Hiestand House.
