Little Theatre of Alexandria

The Little Theatre of Alexandria is a community theatre housed in a historic building on Wolfe Street in Old Town. The performance space features a black box stage with flexible seating that allows the venue to adapt to different types of productions.

The theatre started in 1934 as a play-reading group and purchased a former blacksmith's shop in 1939 for its operations. This building has remained its home ever since, giving the theatre decades of stability in the same historic location.

The theatre serves as a gathering place where neighbors connect through live performances and shared artistic experiences throughout the year. It reflects the community's commitment to making theatre accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.

The theatre is located in Old Town with convenient pedestrian access and the black box layout ensures good sightlines from every seat. Plan to arrive early to find parking and check ahead for performance dates and any accessibility details.

The theatre owns its building outright, a rarity among American community theaters that gives it financial independence and control over its future. This ownership allows the venue to make long-term decisions about programming and renovations without pressure from outside landlords.
