History:
Greensburg Civic Theatre is one of only a few long-established, volunteer-based, community theatre organizations in Westmoreland County. Now in its 55th season, the non-profit corporation was founded by a small group of people who wanted to provide a forum for local actors and theatre craftsmen, including costumers, set builders, and lighting and sound technicians.
The Civic Theatre bounced around town its first fifteen years, performing shows at the Greensburg Armory, the Moose Lodge, and Westmoreland Museum of (American) Art. Many of these shows were done "in the round" with furniture, but minimal sets. In 1969, we established our shows at the Greensburg Garden and Civic Center on Old Salem Road, a facility built with the Civic Theatre in mind as one of the tenants. Today, we continue to rent space there for office use, storage, rehearsals, and performances for our adult plays and children's theatrical productions.
In the mid-80's, the theatre formed its Greasepaint Players children's theatre troupe, producing plays and musicals for a younger audience. The Greasepaint Players produce two or three shows annually which frequently sell out, especially around the holidays.
