Plan the day
The Media Theatre is a nonprofit live theater on State Street in Media, PA, producing a Broadway Series and a Youth Ensemble Series of shows. The 2026-27 Broadway Series opened October 1 with School of Rock.
Four Broadway Series productions a year run two to five weeks each, so there is usually something on: School of Rock through October 18, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory from November 27 through January 3, Peter and the Starcatcher March 4 to 21 and A Chorus Line May 6 to 30. The SEPTA Route 101 trolley stops in front of the theater, and a paid lot sits next door at Gayley and State.
