The historic Embassy Theatre opened its doors to the public on November 18, 1931. It was the height of the Great Depression. Although many had less than good fortune, people needed those fantasy realms the movies could provide, giving the Jacob Kauffman family an incentive to build the Embassy Theatre on Cumberland’s Baltimore Street.
Once inside, the Embassy in all its glory could be witnessed in the ceiling’s stenciled jungle motifs and wall borders. The lights went down as music was played on the Wurlitzer pipe organ, then cartoons, previews, a newsreel, a serial and the main feature were shown. A jackpot prize of a new set of dishes was offered the third Saturday of every month, and every so often special live guests like Rin Tin Tin or cowboy star Ken Maynard and his horse were featured on the Embassy fore-stage.
In the early Fifties, the cinema’s popularity dwindled due to the advent of television. In 1959, the Embassy closed its doors, and the premises were altered to create an annex for the adjacent Cumberland Cloak and Suit Store. A.C. Warhaft bought the Embassy in 1981 to house his custom drapery shop, which remained until his death in 1992. A nonprofit corporation was formed in December 1997 to revivify the theatre as a multi-purpose arts facility. The retail ceiling was removed to expose the gloriously colorful stenciled proscenium and ceiling to the orchestra floor. A stage was built, the original exterior doors were rehung, and a box office was rebuilt to match the original.
In addition to work to bring back the building to its original form, a handicapped accessible bathroom was added to the first floor, and a fire sprinkler system installed. Wonderful faux finishes painted by local artist John Alderton adorn the lobby of the second floor. Funded entirely by public donations, an electric retractable movie screen was permanently installed. In the past twenty years, the Embassy has presented many scores of plays, comedies, original theatrical work, music, dance and film. Meanwhile, we continue to raise funds for future renovations, while continuing to provide our venue for the performing arts.
The Cumberland Theatre proudly celebrated its 30th year of entertainment in 2018. The theatre is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization entirely owned by its volunteer Board of Diretors and operated by its two Artistic Directors. These members of the community spend invaluable time and resources to the funding and operating of the theatre. Other volunteers support the theatre by serving on various committees and by working as front of house staff.
2018 marked the 30th Anniversary for the Cumberland Theatre and the theatre sold a record number of 9,200 tickets. The theatre was also nominated for 33 Broadway World Regional Awards in a variety of categories including acting, set design, costume design, choreography, directing and lighting design.

Our bathtubs are ideal for soaking after your busy day. Our beds are Serta® pillow-tops; a guarantee for the best night’s sleep.
We prepare a full-sized breakfast described as one of the best on the trail. Some favorites on the menu include challah French toast, apple crisp, fresh fruit, the list goes on. Savor the flavor of our fresh ground Nicaraguan French Roast coffee. We serve Community Tee, shipped directly from New Orleans. We are happy to accommodate your special dietary requests. As a local tour guide, owning both Mountain Getaway Tours and Mountainside Bike Tours (http://www.mountainsidebiketours.us), I can provide for you as much information (or as little) about our town’s history, economics and hopes for the future. We can package your visit whether it’s biking (rentals available), hiking, golf, history, theatre, special events/festivals, a ride on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, the arts or just relaxing; you can trust our suggestions. I am more than happy to provide a complimentary walking/driving tour of our historic city…just ask.
