| Founded in 1928, within only a
few months we were in our own picturesque little theater (a former mid 19th
century Masonic temple) in Schenectady's historic Stockade district.
We've been here ever since, always growing. Just a few years ago we
acquired the former Red Cross building next door to provide space for our
costume collection, group activities, office and archival work.
Over the past 75 years we've produced almost 400 plays, each requiring as many as 100 volunteer performers, directors and backstage workers. That's made us the successful community theater we are today. From the beginning we've carried our own weight. Ticket sales, growing season subscription support, patron gifts and tremendous volunteer work have provided affordable theater, funded on-going improvements, and kept us operating consistently in the black with minimal funding from grants. You and people like you make it happen. You're the key to our on-going success.

Our constant goal is to present a
well-balanced mix of professional quality theater, from recent
Broadway hits to the classics to the avant garde.
As a subscriber you get a full 5-play season for 17% off the already low single ticket price of $15. And don't worry about schedule conflicts. We happily exchange your tickets for any other performance - at no penalty. Share the wealth with friends and family. Gift certificates for season subscriptions or individual play tickets make ideal graduation, anniversary, birthday or other special occasion gifts. (Just call 382-2081) Take a tax deduction by making a patron gift toward our long-term needs. GE even matches 100% of these gifts by its employees, retirees and spouses. Join us onstage or backstage. |
