ABOUT
A COMMUNITY THEATRE MANAGED BY THE COLONIAL BEACH PERFORMING ARTS ASSOCIATION
Announcing our 2025 Season!
You will not want to miss any of our four 2025 Season plays. And the best way to get the best seats for these shows is a season subscription. And you save $10 over buying the tickets individually. Starting off with a tense drama in March, followed in June by a comedy where a fledgling theatre company has a disastrous opening night. Then in September a musical about love letters written home by American servicemen across the years. Finally, in December, a young reporter is tasked by his editor to write an article about his family's Christmas. The family is not at all happy about this!
If you are not sure about your 2025 schedule, you can purchase Flex tickets at an even bigger discount and use them to purchase individual tickets, when they go on sale in January.

YOU DID IT!
Through the generous support of our community, Colonial Beach's intimate indoor venue now has professional theater seating. Every penny spent on this seating and its installation is independent of ticket sales or any other source of funding. The Seating Fund started on Mother's Day 2023, with a party at the home of Paula Van Alstine and Ron Harris.That party raised over $4,000. On April 8, 2024, the new seats were installed.
In less than a year our dream came true, meeting the cost of the seating and professional installation, over $17,000! What a demonstration of this community's love for the arts! Yes, the theater has other needs, but for now the Seating Fund is closed as we all enjoy this amazing event!
Continuing improvements to our venue.
Improvements at our intimate venue at 108 Hawthorn in downtown Colonial Beach are continuing. Two major improvements we have completed are installing professional seating in our auditorium and lighting on the front of our building. The latter was completed with the help of a beautification grant from the Colonial Beach Community Foundation.
Among the projects that we still need funding for are rebuilding our stage and backstage surface, which were built from the portable platforms formerly used to perform at the Town's Community Center. They now squeak terribly and are uneven in spots. Also, one of our rows of new seating is slightly out of line due to a wall that must be moved a few inches to make the E row aisle consistent with all other rows.
Thanks so much for the your past contributions which have made our venue safer, more comfortable, and more attractive.

Re: Four Old Broads: Wonderful funny show ... my wife and I may return to see it again.

Last night two of my friends and I went to the Colonial Beach Playhouse to see the Savannah Sipping Society. We were absolutely delighted and laughed all the way through the play! It was funny and also moving. The actresses were perfection and the stage ladies really got their groove on !! I hope that all of you beach people take the time to see this little gem of a play.
