Bedford Playhouse is a vibrant state-of-the-art cinema, cultural center and community hub, featuring films and other arts-related programming. The original playhouse opened its doors in April 1947. When it closed in 2015, a grassroots effort led to the formation of a new nonprofit organization, the Bedford Playhouse Inc. and its partner entity, the Clive Davis Arts Center.
