Third Avenue Playhouse began as a dream – a dream of providing a high quality, year-round community performing arts center in Door County. Conceived in 1999 by a group of ten local visionaries, the theater first opened its doors in Fall 2000 as a fledgling community theater supported by a small group of enthusiastic volunteers.

In addition to musical and theatrical performances, Third Avenue Playhouse also offers classes and workshops throughout the year and is also available as a venue for civic and community organizations.
