Walnut Street Theatre (oldest continuously operating theatre)

Walnut Street Theatre, founded in 1809 and housed at its current location since the 19th century, is widely recognized as the oldest continuously operating theatre in the United States. The theatre stages Broadway-style productions, regional premieres, and touring shows that frequently generate widely shared photos, reviews, and video clips. Its historic auditorium and marquee are common subjects of performance- and architecture-focused social-media posts and arts coverage.
