Malverne Community Theatre
The Malverne Community Theatre is an organization dedicated to producing theatrical works that are rooted in the traditions of classic theater, but foster experimentation, fresh ideas, and true imagination.
The company was founded in 1967 by a group of people who wanted to turn Malverne into a respected arts community. For a few years, the company was prolific, but all of this stopped by the early 1970s and the company sat dormant for more than 40 years.
Since officially launching in April, 2012, we have brought creative theater back to Malverne and its neighboring communities. We continue to grow without becoming too big, and have focused on the creation of unique theatre in both the physical and digital world. We have been pioneers in virtual theatre, and we intend to continue redefining what theatre can be.
