About Us

The Whidbey Playhouse has been presenting live theatre in Oak Harbor for 45 years. Though we are a small community theatre, we strive for excellence and professionalism in all that we choose to do. We promote and nourish community spirit, providing support and encouragement to individuals and other cultural arts groups.

Since our very first production, Madame President in 1966, we have presented hundreds of musicals, dramas, comedies, melodramas, mysteries, youth productions, variety shows and original musical reviews. Currently, the Playhouse produces five shows (plays and musicals) during the regular season (September through June), plus a full youth theatre program with workshops and summer productions.

The Playhouse is continually grateful to the hundreds of people who have contributed their time, enthusiasm, energy, talent and financial support over the years - without these people, we would not exist. We are indebted to our casts, crews, production staff, orchestra and audiences. Oak Harbor is a very diverse community, we are proud that our venue unites so many people through a shared love of the stage.
