History

Established in 2004.

The Williamston Theatre began as the Williamston Theatre Project in the spring of 2004 when four Michigan-based theatre professionals, actor John Lepard, director Tony Caselli, arts administratorChristine Purchis and actress and producer Emily Sutton-Smith, chose Williamston as a location to found a not-for-profit, small, professional live theatre company. Throughout 2005, the four founders worked to develop their business plan, secure support for the project and raise awareness in the community. In late 2005, a local developer pledged to support the Theatre by underwriting its facility expenses. Community volunteers rallied around the effort to open the Theatre and spent hundreds of man-hours building, painting and remodeling the former retail space to be a workable black box theatre with eighty-eight seats. "Additional Particulars", a comedy by Ed Simpson, was the Theatre's first full production and opened in June 2006.
