- Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre
The Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre is one of the oldest continuously-running community theatre in the United States. [http://www.hazletonchamber.org/about/arts.htm]
Founded in 1922 as the Drama League, Little Theatre was incorporated as a non-profit under the new name in 1929. Its first performance was Rudyard Kipling's "The Elephant's Child", delivered at what is now Coughlin High School in Wilkes-Barre.
Little Theatre purchased its current location, a former movie theatre, in 1956. Following renovations, performances at the new location began in 1957.
