The Palace Theatre, located just 25 minutes from West Newton, has been a major force in Westmoreland County's cultural scene for generations. Opened September 2, 1926, as the Manos Theatre, The Palace Theatre today hosts the widest variety of live entertainment in the area in a beautifully renovated 1320-seat facility, located across from the county courthouse at 21 West Otterman Street in downtown Greensburg, PA. The Palace Theatre is home to the Westmoreland Symphony Orchestra and a regional venue for River City Brass Band. Productions are mounted on a regular basis by local arts groups including Laurel Ballet, Stage Right, Greensburg Civic Theatre, Westmoreland Choral Society, Greensburg Area Cultural Council, and Greensburg Central Catholic High School. Private promoters bring popular entertainers to the Palace, such as Joan Baez, Buddy Guy, Kevin James, Connie Francis, The Oak Ridge Boys, Penn & Teller, Frankie Avalon, and Keb Mo. The Westmoreland Trust, owner and developer of The Palace since 1990, sponsors national touring musicals and celebrity headliners like Lou Rawls, Judy Collins, Neil Sedaka, Ben Vereen, Bill Cosby, Bernadette Peters, Harry Belafonte, Irish Tenor Ronan Tynan, George Carlin, and Paul Anka.
