Mission Statement

The Public Theater produces professional, live theater that educates, inspires, and connects communities.

About This Cause

The Public Theater was founded as San Antonio Little Theater in 1912, as part of the growing Little Theatre movement sweeping the nation. Since that time, it has changed its name twice, expanded and shrunk its programming, and moved buildings several times. Now housed in the first city-owned, city-built theater in the nation, The Public Theater holds a place of pride for the City of San Antonio, having stood strong for over 100 years. In its time, The Public has produced hundreds of plays and reached an audience of millions, including both local residents and visitors from all over the world. Each year, The Public’s staff (currently comprised of 17), with the help of over 300 volunteers, produces a series of plays in its two theaters. The Russell Hill Rogers Theater is home to larger musicals while the Cellar Theater houses a variety of dramas, comedies, and experimental works. Both stages have hosted original work by local playwrights as well as classic and recent Broadway hits. In addition to its volunteers, The Playhouse is supplemented by the work of hundreds of local artists, who are contracted for every show.
