The decision was announced in a letter to staff from co-founders Bob Funking and Bill Stutler, and Stutler's wife, Von Ann.
"It is with great sadness that we announce the permanent closing of the Westchester Broadway Theatre," they wrote. "We cannot be a profitable business while being closed and it looks dim for any live theatre to be open for the foreseeable future."
Performers to have graced the Westchester Broadway Theatre stage include: John Lloyd Young, Will Swenson, Carolee Carmello, Scott Bakula, Randy Graff, Estelle Harris, Bob Cuccioli, and Faith Prince and more.
