About Us
For many years, our name alone has confused and surprised many. Let us assure you that we are not a "comedy club" in the sense that we are a stand-up club or a venue for similar performances. We are a community theater with a big emphasis on the word "community"!
A Season of Excellence
Generally we produce four main shows per season, which include a musical and three plays beginning in November through May as well as other special events such as the Annual Barnstable Village Stroll, staged readings, and acting and directing workshops.
Bringing Excellence to the Stage
As the oldest running, live community theater on Cape Cod and one of the oldest in America, we strive to bring excellence to all of our patrons, volunteers, members and to the community. We are an MA 501(3)(c) nonprofit volunteer driven organization. Dedicated volunteers work in all areas of the theater from front of the house to performers to production to our board of directors.
