Each year our Rotunda Theatre Series produces three
plays in the Wortley-Peabody Theatre in the Rotunda and one large-scale
musical in the sanctuary. The first show was performed in the “Rotunda
Theatre” in 1964 shortly after construction of the facility
was completed. First Church has had a long and rich history of
producing quality plays, musicals and even radio and television
broadcasts. The Rotunda Theatre Series, in its current form, was
organized in 1996 in celebration of the church’s Sesquicentennial
and has grown steadily in popularity and patronage each year. Under
the guidance of our Executive Board, the theatre offers many opportunities
both on stage and back stage for members and non-members who share
a love of the theatre.
