Since its founding in 1984 as the American Music Theater Festival, the mission of the Prince Music Theater has been to present and cultivate an exceptional range of high-quality performing arts, film, and other programs that engage, entertain, and educate diverse audiences. Since 1999 the Prince Music Theater has sparkled as a state-of-the-art theater, located at Broad & Chestnut in the heart of downtown Philadelphia, offering live performance and film events in two performance spaces. The historic Midtown Theater at 1412 Chestnut Street was completely renovated creating one of the best theater spaces in Philadelphia with enviable acoustics and full wheelchair accessibility in all the public areas.
