Hello Echoeheart,
I have been to The Keswick many, many times and I must say that it is a great place to see a show. Getting there can be a little tricky. There is a 7 year construction project going on at the Fort Washington exit off of the turnpike. Lots of detours which seem to change all the time but somehow I manage to get there. There are no hotels in Glenside but a new Hilton Garden Inn right at the Fort Washington exit. They have a special Keswick rate ($90 I think) but you have to call them to get that rate. Lots of good places to eat right in Glenside. A really cool little town. I hope that helps. I maight be there for King Crimson, don't know yet. A friend of mine takes guitar lessons from Robert Fripp and usually gets comp tickets. I take him to some shows because he is blind! All the best, AHF

I've been to the Keswick Theatre twice now I guess... it really is a great place to see a show, and Glenside is a nice little town. I used google maps and actually found it very easy to get to. Also, across the street from the theatre on the corner is the Keswick Tavern... nice place, not overpriced, good food, and couldn't be more convenient.

Keswick used to be my home town theatre, lived just a few miles away....been to and recorded many a show there...finally gave up my membership there last year. Sound is great from any seat in the house. actually going there in June for Boz Scaggs....who knows I might be at Crimson. It's been about 10 years since I've seen them,might be time again..

I hope it works out, I am dying to see Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree drummer) play with Pat M. And with Tony Levin back in the mix, it would be sick. They are only doing a few dates, so I hope I can swing it.
Boz...nice.
