Portsmouth Community Theater is 10 Years Old. 1996-2006

Portsmouth Community Theater began in 1996. Rebecca Vickers, Priscilla Wimpress and Cindy Killavey, the "founding mothers" hoped to emulate the very successful Jamestown Community Theater by offering adults and children the opportunity to experience live theater in their own community. With their background in theater management, performance and children who were interested in the art, they called a meeting at the Portsmouth Free Public Library. Over 20 people turned out with enough skills to put on a show right then. Encouraged by this support, they moved forward to start the theater.

In our early years, with no performance space of our own, PCT performed at the Common Fence Point Community Hall, St. Mary's Episcopal Church and the old Coggleshall School Building. The stage at old Coggleshall School, former home to Pennfield School and now used by the Aquidneck Island Christian Academy has become the place we call "home". The Aquidneck Island Christian Academy has no affiliation with Portsmouth Community Theater except shared space.

Since 1996 we have produced numerous plays, reviews, dinner theater performances and musicals giving hundreds of adults and children the opportunity to "put on a show".
