Sunset Playhouse – Located on Wall Street in Elm Grove, the Sunset Playhouse is a non-profit community theater organization incorporated in 1954.  After a 6-year building drive fund, the doors of the theater opened to the public in 1960, making it the first theater in the state to be built entirely by a community theater group. Theater tickets make a great gift for the holidays or any time, so plan to see one of the following shows and support a great organization.
