Erie Playhouse

The Erie Playhouse is a community theater in Erie, Pennsylvania, founded over a century ago and staging live productions for the local community. The theater presents a mix of musicals and plays, including recent shows such as Come From Away, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Over the Tavern, and it runs youth programs, classes and camps alongside its main season. Its Showstoppers and Youtheatre programs give young performers a place to audition and perform.

The auditorium is intimate, with about 424 seats on a proscenium stage, and it is wheelchair accessible. Single tickets, season tickets and school performances are sold through the box office, and the Playhouse Ghostlight Halloween 5K is held on a downtown course that starts and finishes outside the theater. The box office is at 13 West 10th Street in downtown Erie and is closed on Mondays and Sundays.
