Ponca Playhouse

For many years, The Playhouse has sought to keep its productions quality high by hiring professional directors. Playhouse volunteers have the opportunity to learn from these directors, who are typically known for their teaching abilities, as well as their skill in producing superior productions. Some directors are hired for their skill in set design, their work with beginning actors or children, or their knowledge of a particular style of play. Playhouse volunteers and audience members alike, benefit from each director’s professional experience.


The Ponca Playhouse is very much a community theater in that they are constantly integrating new volunteers into the organization.


The Playhouse has been known over the years as a very “civic” organization. It provides actors and technical people for many activities going on about town. An especially memorable contribution provided to the city is the Marland Mansion tableaux presented at the Mansion and at various sites around Ponca City.


The Playhouse actors and technical people come from all walks of life and from all experience levels. Novices are welcome at all times. The Ponca Playhouse has an open casting policy, so everyone has a fair chance at all auditions
