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 83 years we've produced almost 450 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 only $55.  A significant discount on our 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 (518) 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.		Upcoming Events 06/05/2012 7:15 pm : Open Auditions - Blithe Spirit 06/07/2012 7:15 pm : Open Auditions - Blithe Spirit Blithe Spirit is the smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages. The ingenious plot tells how novelist Charles Condomine invites into his placid country home an eccentric medium in order to learn the language of the occult. Little does he realize that the séance will summon back Charles first wife, now “passed over” for seven years. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script and British accents are necessary for this production. Please be prepared to list any conflicts you might have during the rehearsal period which will be mid August through the show in October.
