When you come to see the show at The Playhouse At Waterville Station why not come a bit early to shop for some bargains at Friends Consignment & More and to get a yummy bite to eat at Grand Central Cafe ???

So many thanks to Amy Calder and Central Maine Newspapers for the unexpected and wonderful introduction of our story and goals to the community!

We are humbled to have this opportunity, but it couldn't happen without the help of so many friends and community members.

Randy and Lisa Jones of Augusta bought the former Railroad Square Cinema complex with a long-term goal of making it a center for the arts and artisans.

Once upon a time, the original Railroad Square Cinema building was damaged by fire and, with the help of the Waterville community, a new building and wildly successful cultural phenomenon "rose from the ashes".

To commemorate this, one of the doors in the building has a carved phoenix, rising from the ashes.

We are so excited to have the opportunity to revive the phoenix once again, as the building itself and ACAT both also rise from the ashes.

Recycled Shakespeare Company had a rehearsal in The Playhouse tonight. So excited that things are moving along.

After the rehearsal, one of the kids in the play gave me this piece of glitter "because you were so nice to us." My heart is melting. ❤️

Lots of work today finishing the upgrades to the fire alarm system to keep everybody safe.

We highly recommend Maine Fire Protection Systems !!

Waterville Fire - Rescue and Code Enforcement have also been fantastically friendly and helpful to us getting The Playhouse ready!

We are still getting The Playhouse in shape to "fully open", but we are overjoyed that we already have several expressions of interest for partners and potential partners in the area. We are currently making plans with Aqua City Actors Theatre, Recycled Shakespeare Company, and Two Cent Theatre. Please join us in supporting all of these groups, and keep your eyes on this page for future events and opportunities to work with these and other future partners.

Located in the former Railroad Square Cinema building, the Playhouse at Waterville Station is aimed at the achievement of several related dreams; providing a home for the Aqua City Actors Theatre, providing a place for playful performance, education, and recreation for Waterville, and fulfilling the wishes of several loved ones, living and passed.
