“Raise your words, not your voice. Rain grows flowers, not thunder.” – Rumi
Our goal at North Canton Playhouse to raise up community citizens who are responsible and contribute to the enrichment of the world. Theater experiences don’t start on Broadway, they start in our neighborhoods. And that’s why we need community theater.
