The theatre occupies a former Pennsylvania Railroad freight depot built circa 1890. The hipped roof over the brick exterior provides cover for the freight loading dock. The interior was modified to accommodate live theatre performances by the Winchester Little Theatre. They moved into their railway home in 1974 and have provided critically acclaimed professional-quality\u00a0live theatre to the community ever since.\u00a0 The current season has had two runaway hits, “The 39 Steps” and \u201cThe Foreigner”, and is on track to set new records for audience enjoyment in 2012.<\/p>\n

Winchester Little Theatre is also spearheading the volunteer carolers in period costume for this year’s musical entertainment. Look for the carolers at the Preview Party on Saturday evening and during the tour on Sunday. For more information on how to volunteer to carol, call 540-662-3331 and leave a message. <\/b><\/p>\n
