The Tull Family Theater
The Tull Family Theater is a film-based arts organization created to strengthen cultural, educational and entertainment experiences in the region northwest of Pittsburgh.
While Pittsburgh has a multitude of cultural options, communities on the outskirts of the city face challenges in accessing them, due to economic and transportation challenges. With few offerings of this sort otherwise, the immediate communities don’t even benefit from a regular movie theater. Nearby underserved communities feel this cultural void more strongly, as limited public transportation routes and no financial assistance make it very challenging to attend the multiplexes. The Tull Family Theater makes arthouse films, typically available only in metro areas, accessible to communities on the edges of Allegheny County and in Beaver, Butler and Washington counties.
Strategically located in Sewickley, the theater presents a wide variety of quality programming that appeals to children, teens, families and seniors as well as cinematic connoisseurs. The theater works to leverage the benefit of the arts through cross-promotion and collaboration with other nonprofits, schools and universities.
