PARKWAY PLAYHOUSE – Yancey County
Locally Grown North Carolina Theatre, the Parkway Playhouse
People tend think that all theatre in America aspires to be Broadway. At the Parkway Playhouse, we simply aspire to be, well? the Parkway Playhouse. Broadway and The West End, are wonderful in their own ways. But after 66 years and counting, so is the Parkway Playhouse. Our work has its roots in this region and celebrates the diversity, history, and unique lifestyle that can only be found right here; much like our friends in New York LOVE plays and musicals that reflect the experience of being a New Yorker. Much of our work is created, conceived, and performed by regionally based artists; hence, our tag line of Locally Grown North Carolina Theatre.
