Ilion Little Theatre has entertained Mohawk Valley audiences every year since 1924. What began as a private club performing in a founder’s attic grew into a community theater housed in “The Stables,” a former carriage house on the Philo Re*****on estate. The group opened its performances to the public in 1968 and continues to bring people together through live theater 🎭

Today, Ilion Little Theatre welcomes adults interested in participating onstage, behind the scenes, or as audience members ✨ To learn more, visit ilionlittletheatre.org ⬅️
