performers, duos, or 3-piece combos are best suited for the
stage (sorry, no drum kits). Live musicians (as opposed to
pre-recorded tracks) are required for performances.
Located at 56 E.
Butler Pike in Ambler, PA, Act II Playhouse is across the street
from the former Ambler Cabaret, a once popular national touring
stop for bands, artists, and top regional acts. Act II Playhouse
is only two blocks from the Septa R-5 Line, with trains running
every 30 minutes through 11:30 PM to Philadelphia's Suburban,
Market East, and 30th Street Stations.
