Now that’s a great idea and I’m sure David wouldn’t mind what color it is. ;)
It was nice of David to furnish that information. If we can locate that elusive white organ, maybe it could be installed in this theater. ;)
David wrote to me and said that the theatre had a pipe organ, but it was destroyed in the flood of 1942.
Lost: I haven’t heard back from David at the Coudersport Theatre, but when I do I will let you know or he may just post his comments here.
Thanks Patsy. I don’t want to add the Grand Theater until I can find some information about it.
I’m sure he would so I’ll cut and paste your above post into an email to him and wait for his answer.
The Coudersport Theater isn’t on the theater organ list. The list isn’t 100% complete so the theater might have had one. While we’re on the subject of Coudersport, do you think David would have any information about a Grand Theater in Coudersport?
LOL! Love your humor though I don’t think it ever had an organ. There was a flood many years ago in the town and it might have been destroyed then as damage did occur to the Coudersport Theatre at that time…will have to ask my tour guide, David to give a definitive answer….whether an organ ever existed and if so, what color it was! LOL!
Does this theater have a white organ console? :)
Lost: Lovely photo showing main street in a pictureque PA town. I will always remember my tour of this one for many reasons and look forward to returning to Coudersport in the Spring.
This is another photo of the Coudersport Theater.
MPol: There are sweet-looking photos on the theatre website

What a sweet-looking theatre! Are there any photos of the interior?
During my tour I saw and sat in one of the theatre seats, but also saw and sat in one of the original seats that were much more ornate on the sides. It was in the basement and, I believe, is the only one. I suggested to our tour guide, David that perhaps they put it on display, but the lobby area isn’t big enough.
My recent trip to Coudersport was a pleasant experience having met friends for lunch and meeting new friends at the Potter County Historical Society, Kay and Leon Reed. Leon graduated from high school with CT member, Edith Wingate. Leon took us on a 45 minute tour of the town which included seeing the Scottish Rite Consistory, Lewis Mansion, Old Hickory, Dr. Othmers former summer home and other interesting sites. At 2:00 we were greeted by the manager of the theatre and taken on a full tour of that lovely theatre. Thank you David and thank M/M Reed.
Here is an October 2008 photo.
Edith: Please email me at and put Coudersport Theatre in the subject line. Thanks.
LOL! Thanks so much!
Patsy….It looks like you will have a long wait for John Rigas to give you a tour of the Coudersport. :)
Contact info for John Rigas: Butner Federal Correctional Complex in North Carolina. According to Wikipedia, his release date is 09-04-2017.
Could the name, John Rigas who is mentioned in previous posts be of help to me during a Coudersport Theatre visit? Through an internet search I found more than one Coudersport residents listed under that name.
