JKR Partners is now called JKRP Architects (the firm was founded in 1984 as J.K. Roller Architects.) While several cinema projects are featured on their redesigned web site, the Dietrich Theatre is unfortunately not among them.

The photo currently on display was uploaded by wsasser back in 2012, but he didn’t provide any annotation with it. As the newest movie on the marquee, The Mummy Returns, was released in 2001, I’d surmise that the photo was taken around the time the house reopened that year, and the people depicted were connected in some way with the event.

Not much here about the Dietrich Theater. Who are these people anyway, TC? I guess they’re the concerned citizens? All we need now is the rest of the story!

Thank you Joe, but I guess we lost this page — “404! That page cannot be found.”

The Dietrich Theatre has been expanded, adding two new screens. The new auditoriums and other alterations were designed by the Philadelphia architectural firm JKR Partners, which features a few words about the theater and one small photo on this page of its web site.
