About Us
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
Read a bit of History
We are an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)3 performing arts organization, staging from six to eight high-quality theatrical productions each year. Our shows rely totally on local actors, technicians, artists, and a host of other volunteers from the Huntsville-Madison County-Tennessee Valley area.
Our six "main stage" shows are presented in the 332-seat Von Braun Center Playhouse. Each show runs two weekends with a total of seven performances (two of which are matinées). We also stage some performances, such as our popular "Shakespeare on the Mountain," at other area venues.
Theatre Huntsville is a member-based organization. Our Board of Directors is elected annually from the membership. Committees, drawn from the membership, conduct or maintain our policies, procedures, strategic planning, and day-to-day operations. In real life, our members are writers, doctors, engineers, students, teachers, artists, environmentalists, accountants, construction workers…in short, they’re YOU!

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.
