Jenkintown Music Theatre has been providing entertainment for over 60 years. Starting in 1945 as the Jenkintown PTA chorus, the first show was a variety show. The organization was called the Jenkintown PTA Musical Theatre. Productions are held each year in the Kuykendall Auditorium inside the Jenkintown Middle/High School. The auditorium was officially named the Kuykendall Auditorium in 2006 to honor Frank and Dolly Kuykendall for the many years of service.
