A brief history of the Willows Theatre Company

Concord Community Arts, a program of the City of Concord, began presenting plays and musicals in the Parkside Playhouse in 1974, and in the spring of 1977  began producing in the new Willows Theatre as Theatre Concord.

Nine years later, Theatre Concord became CitiArts Theatre, employing members of Actors Equity Association. In 1992, CitiArts gained Constituent Membership in Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national association of professional regional theaters. In late 1993, CitiArts Theatre became an operation of The Benefactors, a non-profit corporation organized in 1974 to support quality live theatre in Concord, and the name was changed to The Willows Theatre Company.

Now celebrating our 30th Anniversary, the Willows Theatre Company serves over 70,000 patrons annually!
