Welcome to the Penny Smith Theater

What is Community Theater?

Community theatre is a form of theater production involving local volunteers, not professional actors, and is often run as a social and artistic activity. It is a way for people to engage in the performing arts, learn new skills, and contribute to the cultural life of their community. Community theaters typically rely on volunteers for all aspects of production, from acting and directing to set design and costume creation.
