The Salem Community Theatre

The Salem Community Theatre, Inc. was started to provide the community of Salem with a full season of live stage performances and to promote the theatrical arts. The Salem Community Theatre, Inc. was founded in 1977 by the late Charles E. Williams and Judy Waugh. At the time live theatre was provided for the public at the Memorial Building. Williams and Waugh, along with several others, decided to hire a professional director, Cathy Verhoff. Their first production was “Godspell” and the performances took place at the Salem High School.
