The Provincetown Theater

Community by community, the impact of COVID-19 is variable and changing. We are all in this together. As a year-round not-for-profit, the staff and board of the Provincetown Theater are dedicated to our community’s well-being in every sense of the word. In doing so, we are canceling the two remaining free play readings this month in our Winter Play Dates series on March 17 & 24.

For events and performances scheduled later this spring, please visit our website for updates. Provincetowntheater.org

Most important, we hope and pray you’ll take extra good care of yourself during these uncertain times. If you feel ill, please stay home to rest and recover. We promise we will be here when you feel better!
