Lights, Camera, Community Theater

Northeastern Pennsylvania’s community theater scene shines with creativity, collaboration, and local pride. Across the region, passionate performers and volunteers bring stories to life on neighborhood stages, transforming school auditoriums, playhouses, and cultural centers into hubs of laughter, music, and imagination. From beloved Broadway favorites to bold new productions, each show celebrates the heart and talent that define NEPA’s arts community.

Community theater is more than performance—it’s connection. For young actors, it’s a chance to build confidence, teamwork, and creativity through classes, rehearsals, and youth programs. For adults, it’s an opportunity to rediscover their passion, lend a hand behind the scenes, or support friends and family from the audience. Every curtain call reflects the spirit of collaboration and the joy of storytelling that make our local theaters so special.

So whether you’re stepping on stage, volunteering backstage, or finding your favorite seat in the house, NEPA’s community theaters welcome you to be part of the show.
