Apple Hill Playhouse was the name of both a theater company and a theater building, both located in Delmont, Pennsylvania .
The theater was established by Gerta Bendl [1] Pittsburgh Playhouse expanded the building and named it the William Penn Theater. It was renamed Apple Hill Playhouse when a trio of theatre practitioners associated with Mountain Playhouse bought the building in 1964; their first production was a one-woman show starring Totie Fields .
In 1982, the theater was bought by Pat Beyer, who served as artistic director for the theater until its closure in 2020.[2] [3]
Apple Hill produced a "summer season" that ran from May to October. During the summer, children's plays were produced under the moniker Johnny Appleseed Children's Theater; many of the plays are staged versions of classic stories such as Snow White Rumpelstiltskin Aladdin Sleeping Beauty Jack and the Beanstalk and The Emperor's New Clothes [2] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Mrs. Bob Cratchit's Wild Christmas Binge Rabbit Hole Suite Surrender as well as plays from earlier eras such as Butterflies Are Free The Prisoner of Second Avenue [3] [9] [10] [11] [12] Nuts Westmoreland County Courthouse .[13] Evita Sweet Charity And the World Goes 'Round [14] [15] [16]
On July 23, 2020, Apple Hill Playhouse announced that it would close down, in part because of the impact of the coronavirus. The theater company itself will seek a new home. [17] [18]
