Bucks County Playhouse

Bucks County Playhouse is a theatre venue in New Hope housed in a converted 18th-century mill building with original stone walls and wooden beams. The hall holds about 350 seats and presents productions ranging from classics to contemporary works in an intimate setting.

The structure originally served as New Hope Mills but was converted into a theatre in 1939, launching regular theatrical productions in the region. This transformation occurred as part of a broader revival of the arts community in New Hope.

The playhouse attracts performers and audiences who value theatrical tradition and emerging talent in a river community. It has become known as a place where actors hone their craft before moving on to larger stages.

The venue offers online ticket purchases and accessible seating for guests with mobility needs. Combination packages pair theatre performances with local hotel accommodations, making it simple to arrange an overnight visit.

The building retains elements of the original water-powered machinery that once ran the mill and has been woven into its architectural design. These industrial details create a tangible link to its past as a working production facility.
