civic theatre
Local performance venue
Civic theatre refers to community-based theatrical productions, typically amateur or semi-professional, staged by local residents rather than touring professionals.
A civic theatre may also be the venue itself—a publicly supported playhouse serving a town or city: The civic theatre hosts everything from high school musicals to local Shakespeare.
The term emphasizes theater as community institution rather than commercial enterprise.
