History[]

The theater was created in 1961, and for its first season performed three nineteenth century plays on a budget of 3,500 dollars. The venue was the old Arrow Rock Baptist Church, who’s congregation had consolidated with others in town and no longer used the building. Two families, the Lawrences and the Argubrights co-owned the building and offered to let it be used as a theater. Henry Swanson, a professor at Columbia College was the first artistic director. The theatre celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2021.
