From the Francis Wilson Playhouse, Clearwater: We record the Little Theatre of Jacksonville as an old institution, but list a start date of 1939 as a result of a local funding project to build this theatre for the original purpose of community theatre. We also record that the funding project goes back to 1919 when we suppose theatre plays were already in production. We also record a Mandrin schoolhouse in the Jacksonville area as the site of the first amateur play in Florida at the turn of the century, exact date unknown.
