Winthrop Playmakers is a non-profit organization that provides exceptional, diverse, bold, creative and affordable theatrical productions that captivate and entertain all audiences, both young and old.

The organization was founded in 1938 as "Winthrop Playmakers" and is located at 60 Hermon Street in Winthrop, MA.  The building was originally The First Baptist Church in Winthrop until it was converted in 1975 to a theater.

We are a non-profit theater company dedicated to presenting quality theatrical productions at affordable prices in order to keep live theater accessible to the community at large.

We strive to promote and foster a safe, enriching, enjoyable experience and a sense of genuine community among our board of directors, performers, audiences, donors and all supporters, in order to be a vital contributor to arts and to Winthrop and it’s surrounding towns.
