About The Town Hall Theatre
Town Hall Theatre occupies the historic Washington Township Hall, located at 27 North Main Street in downtown Centerville. The hall was built in 1908 for the purpose of holding town meetings, graduations, and Grange activities. Washington Township housed its government offices in the building until 1985.
In 1989, the building became the focus of township officials who were interested in turning this historic landmark into a viable performing arts center. In 1991, after a series of public hearings, the All Children's Theatre was formed with the assistance of a $5000 MCRACD Special Projects Grant.
Between 1992-96, a facility renovation was initiated, resulting in a newly refurbished auditorium, lobby and rehearsal room, as well as the installation of an accessible ramp entrance and restrooms, a dance studio and scene shop.
What We Do
Town Hall Theatre provides the residents of Centerville/Washington Township and surrounding areas with a performing arts program focused entirely on presenting professionally produced children's theatre.
Each year, the program reaches over 10,000 audience members and involves over 400 community volunteers in every facet of production.
Town Hall Theatre is dedicated to giving patrons and participants with an experience that values the importance of each of the disciplines present in the performing arts. This experience occurs in an environment where education and imagination not only coexist, but nurture one another, as well.
By combining professional directors, designers, and educators with community actors and crew, the theatre provides these volunteers with a professional and quality-driven atmosphere in which to develop as artists. The program receives the majority of its support from community tax dollars, ticket sales and class fees.
