Our History
About the Carlisle Theatre
Located in the heart of Carlisle, the historic Carlisle Theatre has been referred to as “the gem of downtown”.
The Carlisle Theatre is one of the principal forces behind the revitalization of downtown Carlisle. Established in 1939, renovated in 1993, we remain Carlisle’s downtown source for entertainment. The Carlisle Regional Performing Arts Center presents musical concerts, performances, films, live theatrical productions, and programming for children and families.
The Theatre is also available for corporate events and meetings, community events, weddings, and much, much more!

July is packed with new live theatre offerings, exciting film series screening, and more! Thank you to Crystal Oakman, LLC for sponsoring our Summer Classic Horror Series… with special co-hosting by horror expert & friend of the Theatre, Sanguine Macabre. We are excited to collaborate with Create-A-Palooza with a craft offering before “The Land Before Time” as part of our Nostalgic Summer Blockbuster Series (with special artwork from Phil The Thrill Studios & inspired treats from Helena's Chocolate Cafe & Creperie). The premiere of “Once Upon A Pointe Shoe” opens on our stage in collaboration with High Tower Theatricals, and another installment of Pest Control’s TTRPG Live-Play with The Realms of Entropy is back for a beach episode with specialties from Goblin Alchemy, led by Resident Dungeon Master Anthony Geraci. The teen summer camp opens “Carrie: The Musical” after a wild 2 week rehearsal process, quiet downtown Mondays now have Early Bird classics for $6 at 6PM, and The Winery at the Long Shot Farm will be featured for our Book to Film monthly screening (ps…you can grab all the book versions of these stories at Whistlestop Bookshop🐱 )Thank you to Carlisle Summerfair & Love Carlisle for your sponsorship to the community for film, and to Carlisle Bakehouse for the delicious camp cookies - what a cool downtown we have.

"In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression or persecution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We're going to live on. We're going to survive. Today, we celebrate our independence day." -President Whitmore
