Theatre III is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to promoting the performing arts through education and high-quality, reasonably priced performances for the entertainment of the residents of surrounding communities.
In so doing, we strive to embrace the open participation of people of all ages, to share resources, to facilitate an outlet for creative expression, and to expand the knowledge of participants in all aspects of theatre arts (performance and production) in an atmosphere of friendship and camaraderie.
Since its inception, Theatre III’s objective has been to provide the finest quality performances at affordable prices. We strive to make the arts accessible to as wide a range of audiences as possible, and the company can boast of over 50 years of success in this endeavor. Numerous awards and rave reviews attest to this fact. Whether a musical, comedy, or drama, Theatre III presents them all with professionalism and panache.
Theatre III is a non-profit organization, fully operated by hard-working, dedicated (and fun-loving) volunteers. Our auditorium seats roughly between 170 and 200 patrons, depending on show configuration. Three productions are staged during each regular season – one each in fall, winter, and spring – usually including at least one major musical plus various comedies and dramas. The regular season is often augmented with special events such as holiday shows, benefit performances, children’s productions, directors’ workshops, and even murder mystery dinners.
We’re proud of Theatre III’s legacy of producing high-quality theatre very economically. We scrimp and save wherever we can. Sharp eyes may notice how a little touch of paint or a new stretch of fabric often allows us to re-use elements of sets and costumes. Of course, fundraising for a non-profit volunteer-operated organization such as Theatre III is on-going. Owning our building is both a great benefit and a huge responsibility. Anyone who has owned an old home knows maintenance and operation can be costly. Theatre III sits in a historic district, so capital improvements to the facility must fall within strict guidelines for historical accuracy. For example, the company must eventually replace very old, deteriorating windows in the auditorium, at an estimated cost of $2000 per window unit.
We depend on the generosity and philanthropy of our patrons and local businesses. You can help by becoming a sponsor, patron, active member or season ticket holder. If you’d like to help, please contact us.
