ACTORS & VOLUNTEERS

For 42 years, the Community Theatre League has been a vital part of our community. We are a non-profit, volunteer driven organization that is committed to developing, promoting and presenting quality, diverse and affordable live theatre for the entertainment, education and enrichment of the participants and the community. Our typical season includes approximately 40 weekends of performances/entertainment, comprised of:

  • Mainstage Plays and Musicals
  • Concerts
  • SPROUTS children’s plays and Theatre for Young Audiences Productions
  • PENGUIN PROJECT/SPOTLIGHT Theatre for Actors with special needs
  • Reader’s Theatre performances
  • All-student workshop productions
  • Summer theatre camp productions and presentations

With the help of more than 300 volunteers per year, CTL has played an important role of the growth and revitalization of downtown Williamsport. Our volunteers change from show to show. Some volunteers act, while some work backstage. Some prefer winter months, some summer. It takes a large group of people to produce each show and their availability is always changing. Perhaps you can fill an empty role.
