History

Established in 1995.

Matthews Playhouse began with the idea to create a theatre for children in the Matthews area. The original board of directors consisted of parents, theatre professionals, and educators that wanted to create a venue for young people to perform in and view quality theatre. Since 1995, the Playhouse has grown from 2 productions during the school year and 1 production class, to a community theatre with a full season of plays and musicals, and a series of classes. In 2002, the Playhouse began offering full length productions for adults and families, and now has a Mainstage season of shows featuring actors of all ages from around the region — with full length and hour long productions that are individually geared towards young people, families, and adults.
