We promote and nourish community spirit, providing mutual support and encouragement to individuals and other cultural arts groups.

Currently, the Playhouseproduces five shows (plays &musicals) during the regular season (September through June) plus a full youth theatre program withworkshops and summer productions.
The Playhouse is continually grateful to the hundreds of people who have contributed their time, enthusiasm, energies, talents and financial support - without these people, we would not exist. We are indebted to our casts, crews, productions staff, orchestra and audiences, and proud that we are all united by our shared love of the stage. The Whidbey Playhouse relies on the financial support and active involvement of the community. The generous support of our membership and donors has allowed us to grow and prosper for 43 years.
Please consider becoming involved!We are a totally volunteer organization so if you feel the urge to "get out and do something", consider auditioning or volunteering for one of our productions.
