Our Story
The North Canton Playhouse was founded in 1976 by Leonard and Mary McManaway, starting with its first production, 'Mame,' at Hoover High School. Initially a small 40-seat theatre, it has grown significantly over the years, developing community outreach programs and moving to a larger space in 1997. Governed by a dedicated volunteer Board of Directors, the Playhouse produces a variety of productions each year, serving both youth and adults in the community.
