Theatre Huntsville, formed in 1997 by a merger of The Huntsville Little Theatre (1950-1997) and The Twickenham Repertory Company, Inc. (1979-1997), is a voluntary association, organized under the laws of the State of Alabama as a corporation not for profit. The purpose of Theatre Huntsville is to foster, encourage, strengthen and perpetuate Member and civic interest in the legitimate theater and the dramatic arts, primarily through the production of theatrical performances. We typically present six live theatrical performances at the Von Braun Center Playhouse, as well as smaller programs at various venues in the city and surrounding areas. This includes our popular season extra, Shakespeare on the Mountain, which allows an al fresco outlet for performing works of, or selections from, the Bard as well as other classical authors. Furthermore, Theatre Huntsville endeavors to educate and train its Members, students and other interested members of the community in the areas of acting, direction, sets, lights, sound, make-up, costumes, properties, all other areas of stagecraft, and administrative management of community theater, through discussions, lectures, meetings, workshops, apprenticeships, tutorials, and on-the-job training conducted by members and other qualified personnel.
