Our Story
DCP Theatre (Dutch Country Playhouse) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) community theatre founded in 1952. Founded by a group of 15 friends who wanted to support a community of artists, storytellers, and theatre-makers from all walks of life.
DCP Theatre is entirely supported and operated by all volunteers. From on stage to behind the scenes, from box office to marketing, nothing would happen without our passionate, dedicated and talented volunteers.
We are thrilled to be celebrating our 75th anniversary in 2027.
We hope you will join us as we continue to serve our community with affordable quality live theatre.
