Most people think they must travel to Philadelphia or New York to see quality professional theater entertainment. However, we have it right here in our own backyard in Mill Hall in Clinton County at the Millbrook Playhouse. They have been entertaining the area since 1963.
It was organized as a non-profit corporation in 1963, Millbrook Playhouse, Inc., and is a professional theatre company located in Mill Hall, central Pennsylvania. Their mission is to provide quality, professional live theatre and encourage the development and appreciation of the theatre arts with a strong educational component.
According to Millbrook officials, their vision is to create a premium theatre experience through the expansion of performance, educational opportunities, and use of facilities.
They are a traditional summer stock theatre with two stages in a converted dairy barn, a 235‐seat Main Stage theatre, and a 100-seat Cabaret Theatre. Their diverse programming includes:
Summer Main Stage Productions: Professional performances ranging from Broadway favorites to regional premieres.
Theatre for Young Audiences: Family-friendly productions designed to inspire the next generation of theatre lovers.
Youth Theatre Programs: Summer camps and fully produced youth ensemble productions that provide young performers with professional-level experience.
Seasonal Shows: Annual fall and holiday productions, such as The Rocky Horror Show and the annual Youth Ensemble Holiday Show.
Community Engagement: Low-cost venue rentals for local events, school partnerships, and arts access initiatives for underserved audiences.
Millbrook also produces a very successful Educational Theatre Program, including full productions presented by our renowned Youth Ensemble and theatre camps for kids, teens, and adults in mid and late summer.
Officials proudly note that for more than 60 years, Millbrook Playhouse has been a cornerstone of Clinton County and the region, enriching lives through the magic of live theatre. Their historic barn theatre has been a gathering place where stories come alive, friendships are forged, and memories are created. Generations have experienced the joy of performance, whether as audience members sharing a laugh with loved ones or as participants discovering their passion on stage.
