Brecksville
Theater on the Square was founded in 1975 by Jeannette Winter
with backing by the Brecksville Recreation Department as a "theater
for all ages." In the beginning, our educational activities
consisted of a mobile "PlayWagon," a decorated bug-eyed
Sprite roadster traveling the streets of Brecksville. This simple
concept has now blossomed into a program that teaches drama to
students annually.
From State Fair in 1975 to , our current season, Brecksville Theater on the Square has provided the community with numerous presentations of quality family theater. Casting only adults and teens in the very beginning, our scope of programming has grown to encompass all-age musicals, adult plays and annual student productions. We are continuously active in Brecksville and beyond through various community and outreach programs.
From its inception, Brecksville Theater
on the Square performances have been located at the Old Town
Hall, an historic Brecksville building located at the intersection
of routes 21 and 82 in downtown Brecksville. The Old Town Hall
is listed on "The National Register of Historic Places"
and is owned and maintained by the City of Brecksville. This building went through
a major renovation in 1998 to restore its structure and uncover
its original interior charm.
Brecksville Theater on the Square has developed
into a well established theater of the performing arts, not only
providing the community with family theater, but with a wide
variety of drama classes and programs offered to students, pre-school
through adults. Outreach programs, scholarship offerings and
increased involvement have made BTOTS an innovative and exciting
place to be. The dynamic and generous support of our city and
many individuals has made our growth possible.
We welcome all to join in our success,
whether on-stage or off-stage, and to become a part of it all!
