About the Flat Rock Playhouse

Flat Rock Playhouse traces its roots to 1937, when British actor Robroy Farquhar formed a traveling troupe called the Vagabond Players. After summers in a converted grist mill and at Lake Summit, the company pitched a circus tent in the village of Flat Rock in 1952. 

In 1961, the North Carolina General Assembly named it the official State Theatre of North Carolina. Today this nonprofit professional theatre welcomes about 90,000 patrons a year to its campus on Greenville Highway. Every production is designed and built on site, from sets and costumes to lighting and sound. 

Seasons blend Broadway musicals, classic comedies, Music on the Rock tribute concerts, and youth theatre. Its alumni include Andy Griffith, Joanne Woodward, and Lee Marvin.
