About the Theatre

The Little Theatre of Fall River has spent more than 75 years bringing performances to the Greater Fall River area. It is one of the oldest theater companies in the nation and a multiple Moss Hart Award recipient. It started in 1935 when a small enthusiastic group banded together with its goal, "to bring good theater to the surrounding community at a price nearly everyone could afford." That has not changed nor has the enthusiasm from this totally volunteer non-profit organization. This initial group embarked on a season of at least three major productions, a schedule we have followed ever since except during the years of World War II. During the years, these dedicated thespians rented space from the Women's Club and five other sites under less than ideal conditions. In 1975, Little Theatre arranged a lease with the city for the former Prospect Street Engine House - Quequechan No.1 and finally, in 1984, they were able to purchase the Firebarn and call it home. The Firebarn is a very busy place with auditions, rehearsals, or performances happening daily. LTFR now produces three Mainstage (BCC) and four or five Firebarn shows yearly. It holds a large workshop, lobby, a 90-seat theater and the Peg Panos Rehearsal Room. Every spare inch is used for storage. As part of our Community Outreach, Little Theatre hosts an Open House with tours and a performance. Play readings are held where local authors can have their work performed on stage. In past years Little Theatre has conducted children's workshops, has supported Forever Paws, The Salvation Army, The American Red Cross, and the Department of Children and Families. Every year, LTFR awards a scholarship to a student majoring in the performing arts.
