OUR HISTORIC BUILDING
Our Historic Building Through The Years
Lewisville Playhouse was established as a non-profit tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization in 1983 (known as Greater Lewisville Community Theatre back then) and is governed by a Board of Directors. In 1997, we were able to purchase our own building in Old Town Lewisville to become the first and still the only cultural arts organization with its own permanent home.
Our building was built in 1885 and is the oldest building in Lewisville. In this photo, Cobb's Dry Goods Store was still operating. After Cobb's, the building was home to a church. Photo courtesy Old Town Preservation Society.
September 2003: TxDOT has ground down the old pavement on Main Street to prepare for the fresh layer of asphalt. This is the front of GLCT as renovations began.
January 2006: The new canopy is in place and the new marquees are installed! Thanks to William Peck Architects for our great new look!
