Sellersville Theater plans to reveal a dramatic new 40- by 25-foot color mural at 6 p.m. June 12, along the Temple Avenue side of the theater.
William Quigley and his wife Elayne Brick have owned Sellersville Theater, located at 24 W. Temple Ave. Sellersville, since 2001. Throughout the past 22 years, the theater has brought over 1 million visitors and music lovers to Sellersville’s growing Cultural District.
“The theater has always been about community,” said Brick. “Everyone wanted us to succeed, local individuals and businesses helped fund renovations and improvements to the theater over the years. With help, we were able to create a venue that has brought numerous national and international performers to Sellersville. Our first performance, a sold-out show, was the legendary musician Leon Redbone. Since that time over the past 20 years, we have hosted nearly 5,000 performances.
“We have always wanted to create some type of mural on the side of the theater,” remarked Brick. “As Sellersville has embarked upon the revitalization of our Downtown Cultural District this seemed like the perfect time to fulfill that dream. We had reached out to the borough to help us find a muralist, and in a serendipitous turn of events, a muralist appeared in resident Domenic Falcone.”
Falcone, now 80, is a retired and well-known art director and designer who moved into Sellersville Borough in 2022. Falcone wanted to make a difference in his new hometown and came to Borough Hall to volunteer his creative expertise to improve and market Sellersville. Borough Manager Eileen Bradley immediately gave him his first assignment, to help design a community mural.
