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!

Assassins, presented by Players on High
Book by John Weidman
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

🎟️ carlisletheatre.showare.com/assassins
Run: April 17 - 26 (7 performances)

“A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.”

📸 Cody Myers ft. Anthony Geraci, Donald Domenici, Rick Sollman, Aiden Storm, Jason Mathis, Russ Moore, Anna Palese, Larissa Curcio, Hayden Johnston

Join us tonight at 7 PM for a showing of Easter Parade!
🎟️: carlisletheatre.org/hollywood-on-high/

Easter Parade (1948)
Director: Charles Walters

Easter Parade is a romance/musical starring Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Peter Lawford, and Ann Miller. The film contains some of Astaire's and Garland's best known songs, including "Easter Parade", "Steppin' Out with My Baby", and "A Couple of Swells", all by Irving Berlin.

The premise is that a nightclub performer hires a naive chorus girl to become his new dance partner to make his former partner jealous and to prove he can make any partner a star.
