THEATRE HARRISBURG:
HARRISBURG’S COMMUNITY THEATRE SINCE 1926

Theatre Harrisburg is the oldest performing arts organization in the Capital Region and one of the oldest active community theatres in the United States. Founded as Harrisburg Community Theatre in 1926 during the “little theatre” movement, productions were staged for many years in various locations until construction in 1952 of the Theatre’s permanent home uptown at Sixth & Hurlock Streets. The iconic venue became the preeminent home of live theater in Harrisburg. It has since been named the Jay and Nancy Krevsky Production Center (Krevsky Center) in recognition of a generous gift from the Krevskys.

The Theatre’s productions are now staged at two locations – at Krevsky Center, in an intimate black box space and, for elaborately staged musicals, in the Sunoco Performance Theater at Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts.
