ABOUT The Provincetown Theater
Building on the legacy…
Long considered to be the birthplace of modern American theatre, Provincetown is where Eugene O’Neill and Susan Glaspell formed the original Provincetown Players in 1916. Throughout the 20th century, Tennessee Williams and countless other playwrights, actors and directors have realized their talents here on the outermost tip of Cape Cod.
Formed from a merger of two existing companies in the fall of 2005, The Provincetown Theater Company is forging a distinguished new identity using the best elements of professional and community theatre to create its current and future seasons. Please click the Archive for a complete history.
Our mission is to:
- sponsor new play development and produce plays by American artists
- present professional and non-professional productions
- provide educational and training opportunities for youth and adults
- and maintain the Provincetown Theater as a performing arts venue for the Cape Cod community.
