Artists who have performed at the Keswick in the past include Ani DiFranco, Johnny Cash, B.B. King, Jenny Lewis, Louis CK & Kids In The Hall (comedy troupe).
The Keswick Theatre first opened its doors on Christmas Night, 1928. It was designed by acclaimed architect Horace Trumbauer (who also created the Phila. Museum of Art). Initially a combination vaudeville/movie house, the Keswick hosted such legends as Stepin’ Fetchit, Paul Robeson and Ina Ray Hutton. In 1955, the theater was remodeled into a cineamascope film house, hosting the area’s premiere releases of most of the big-budget movies of the 1950s and ’60s. In Spring 1980, the Keswick closed its doors as a movie theater, slated for demolition. The Glenside Landmarks Society, a not-for-profit group, formed with the hope of restoring it to its former grandeur to operate as a performing arts center. It re-opened in 1981 with a sold-out concert by Fred Waring and the Young Pennsylvanians.
