Broadway Theatre League was founded in 1959 by the Business & Professional Women's Club of Huntsville and the shows were held at Huntsville High School! In the early days, touring theatre veterans Joan Bennett, Dorothy Lamour, John Carradine, and John Raitt came to Huntsville. In 1975, BTL moved the performances to the "new" Von Braun Center and brought bigger scale shows to town. The 1990's brought about the now standard weekend performance schedule and the beginning of the mega-musical.
All types of Broadway shows have been presented, from blockbuster musicals, to obscure little plays and special once-in-a-lifetime events.
Through is all, we have our season patrons to thank - many of whom have been with us for all 52 years! And we couldn't do what we do without our volunteers - those red-vest wearing ushers who devote their time to serve this organization.
