The Shawnee Playhouse

The Shawnee Playhouse began in 1094 when C.C. Worthington built Worthington Hall, to provide entertainment and educational benefit to residents and visitors of Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania. The Shawnee Players, performed to enthusiastic audiences from 1904 to World War II. In 1943, Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians began to broadcast their famous radio programs from the Hall.

The Kirkwood Family worked to get the Hall placed on the National Registry of Historic Places and won the prestigious Phoenix Award, presented by the Society of American Travel Writers. Since 1978 The Shawnee Playhouse has produced many broadway quality shows ranging from musicals, plays, comedy and other variety shows.
