Our Story
NOTE: Founded in 1991, and incorporated in 1993, Pistarckle Theater’s mission is to provide quality professional theater, training, and educational programming that is designed to enlighten and entertain. The theater’s life began as an idea in a restaurant in Coral World, St. Thomas’s underwater and marine observatory. After two years of unparalleled success the theater was invited to be in residence in Marriott’s Frenchman’s Reef, a four star hotel equipped with a thirty-five foot proscenium stage. Pistarckle continued to enjoy growing audiences drawn from the hotel visitors and the local community. However, in 1995 Hurricane Marilyn destroyed 85% of the island. Due to the lack of a suitable venue the theater closed until 1998, when it re-opened at the newly rebuilt Coral World. There, performances took place in an outdoor amphitheater, which sat about 120 people. Again, audiences followed and continued to support Pistarckle. Despite physical and economic losses post-Hurricanes Irma and Maria - September 1995 - our 2017-18 Season was delayed by just a month.
