As part of the Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board’s “Make it Main Street” campaign, we featured the Grand Theater. 

Located in East Greenville, the Grand Theater is one of the most historic movie houses in Montgomery County.

Showing the latest Hollywood films, the theater also features special silent movie events, accompanied by the century-old theater organ.

Owner Ed Buchinski explained, “We’re not just in the movie theater business, we’re in the history business as well.”

On October 4, 1924, Harvey H. Blank and Warren E. Fenstermacher opened the Grand Theatre in East Greenville, PA.

It was designed and built by Souderton, PA architect Jerome S. Landes, who was also the designer and builder of The Palace Theatre in Quakertown, PA and The Broad Theatre in Souderton, PA.

The Grand was to be the most modern and beautiful theatre in the Upper Perkiomen Valley. 

The theater was recently restored to its former glory. The Grand is one of only a handful of theaters that still has a functioning pipe organ and a single screen.  

The theatre specials in family film and focuses on affordability, as it offers $4 matinée and $5 evening shows.

Currently, The Batman is playing.

Upcoming attractions include:

  • Sonic the Hedgehog 2
  • Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
  • Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
  • DC League of Super-Pets
  • Top Gun: Maverick
  • Jurassic World: Dominion
