Old Town Playhouse is a theatrical production group dedicated to bringing local theater to Northern Michigan. It began in 1960, with performances held in local high school auditoriums. Presently a theater was built, and then a second, smaller stage. The MainStage on East Eighth Street holds 277 people, while the Studio Theater on Railroad Place holds 80.

Every year the Old Town Playhouse brings five productions to the MainStage, four productions to the Studio Theater, and does several children’s theatrical shows. The Old Town Playhouse has a commitment to educating children in the arts, and has an extremely popular four-week summer theater camp.
