We are the oldest continous professional summer theatre in Indiana, and each year we strive to perpetuate the great tradition of great theatre established H. Adrian Rehner in 1960. Our recently renovated theatre (thanks to a grant by the Eli Lilly Foundation) is home to five plays and a musical every summe, creating a season that matched that of many year round theatres. A new show goes up almost every weekend and we want you to be part of it as an audience member. So check out our season calendar and be part of the fun!
