News About This Theater

Peterborough Community Theatre

This theater opened as the Gem in 1914. After a fire in 1945, the name was changed to Community Theatre with a seating capacity of 550. In 1984, the building was reconfigured into a 95 seat theatre and a cafe.

The owner is having some health problems in 2008, and has put the theater up for sale.
