Give it a Try – Open Console!
We currently offer both our members and the public opportunities to try their hands at playing our magnificent Wurlitzer at the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. All potential players are welcome, from experienced keyboardists to rank beginners. One of our crew will be present to provide guidance as required. Even if you can only play a one-fingered melody on a keyboard, you will be able to experience the majesty of playing a concert ready Theatre Pipe Organ. We also provide “Theatre Organ 101”. This is an informal live tutorial by one of our members designed to explain the workings of the instrument and its console You will find that the complicated console command center is not really as imposing as it looks! Open consoles usually take place on a Saturday morning for several hours starting at 10 AM. They are published in advance, and occur several times a year. See our events calendar for upcoming dates. Welcome! Give it a Try!
There will be Three Chances to try your hand at the console and learn about the organ in 2026.
All Will Take Place at the Colonial Theatre Wurlitzer,
227 Bridge Street, Phoenixville, Pa
