Brief History

The structure that houses Montgomery Theater in Southeastern Pennsylvania was once the old Souderton firehouse. This "turn of the century" building was bought by the Souderton Borough in order to secure that Montgomery Theater stays in the center of town, thus spearheading revitalization of the Souderton-Telford Communities. In 2002 the main floor of the structure, the original engine room, was renovated into a new 122-seat theater. The first floor and the original arena was once the firehouse banquet hall and senior citizens center. On April 30, 1993, Montgomery Theater Project took occupancy of this lower level and transformed it into a modest 70-seat theater and opened Jonathan Daly's "the William" on June 10, 1993. Since then, Montgomery Theater has presented over seventy productions mixing original, classical, musical and performance art style of presentations to their blend of theatrical events. This lower level space, renamed the "Project Stage," will continue as a performance area designed for alternative and experimental theater, educational theater and children's theater. The top floor of the building has also been renovated in order to provide the theater with office space, alternative rehearsal space, costume and props storage, as well as green room and dressing room facilities.

"I couldn't ask for better acting or direction. I didn't expect to get goosebumps." - Adrienne Redd, North Penn Reporter

"MT continues to sting its audience long after they depart the theater." - Angela Hill, Town and Country (Pennsburg)
