It was so fun to have these ladies rent our auditorium for the last 5 weeks this summer! They met once a week to learn some Broadway tunes and then performed for friends and family last night in their showcase. Our auditorium can seat up to 144 in audience seating in front of our stage that has a grand piano for recitals and concerts. We also have tables for a party or meeting set-up.

We are looking forward to hosting the concert this Sunday. Tickets are still available!

Make it a Mother’s Day to remember! 💐

Start with a 10:00 AM guided tour of Oscar’s home at Highland Farm—an intimate experience that takes under an hour, leaving time to grab a quick brunch before the next event.

At 12:00 Noon, head over to the County Theater for a special Mother’s Day singalong screening of The Sound of Music🎶

Can’t make the movie? No problem! Another one-hour tour of Highland Farm will be offered at 2:00 PM—perfect timing to enjoy the charm of Doylestown Borough afterward.

Then, beginning at 3:15 PM, join us at the James-Lorah Memorial Auditorium for “tea with jam and bread,” inspired by Oscar & Dorothy’s favorite afternoon tradition. Enjoy a warm cup and a sweet treat, generously sponsored by Aurora Bistro. ☕🍰

At 4:00 PM, the celebration continues with a special concert by Broadway veteran and Bucks County native Jenny Lee Stern—joined by her daughters! Through beloved Great American Songbook classics, they’ll share stories of family, life on stage, and the joy of being “Together Wherever We Go!” ❤️

Pick just one event or enjoy full day of Hammerstein with Mom!
