In 1970, a group of local residents, with a strong interest in the performing arts, met in Walhalla to discuss the formation of a community theatre. A steering committee was established chaired by Mrs. Gloria B. Adams. The Rev. George Shealy served as the theatre?s first president. On September 15, 1971, the Oconee Community Theatre was founded and Oconee County was introduced to live, local theatre with the first production -- Oliver directed by Michael Andron, presented at Seneca Junior High School.

Now hosting big Broadway shoes and popular performers like Doc Watson and the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Walhalla Civic Auditorium was once the humble stage of the Walhalla Grade School. Though the school dates to 1903, the auditorium itself wasn?t added to the school complex until 1915. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was last used as the Oconee School District administrative offices. In 2004, the entire complex was deeded to the Walhalla Civic Auditorium Restoration Committee, which aims to provide a first-class facility for shows, conferences and seminars that enhance the cultural and educational life to the area.
Directions: Located at the corner of College and North Broad Street (one block from Main Street/Highway 28)
