Welcome to the Steeple Playhouse!

Live theatre and community events in downtown New Bedford.

Owned and operated by Your Theatre, Inc., the Steeple Playhouse celebrates creativity and community through live theatre and special events at 159 William Street. Initially built in 1829, the historic First Baptist Church, now Steeple Playhouse, was opened in 2023 after a decade-long rehabilitation effort led by the Waterfront Historic Area League and Your Theatre, Inc.
