Theatre Woodstock 75th Anniversary Exhibit
March 12 – August 20, 2022
This exhibit traces the 75 year history of Theatre Woodstock and features a display of posters, photographs, costumes, awards and programs from the theatre’s archive.
Theatre Woodstock began as Woodstock Little Theatre in 1946 on the heels of World War II, when community theatres began springing up across the country. In 1996, the theatre moved to its current location at Market Centre Theatre in downtown Woodstock, eventually changing its name to Theatre Woodstock in 2001. Today Theatre Woodstock continues to provide a high calibre of community theatre, winning many awards at both local and provincial levels.
