Our History
Roadside Theater is a professional ensemble of storytellers and theater makers hailing from the mountains of central Appalachia. We draw inspiration from our area’s rich history as well as the histories of cultures and communities we’ve come to love since starting this journey in 1975. Visit our History page to explore more of our story.

These groups have played pivotal roles in Roadside’s development, and it’s important that we acknowledge all the time and effort they’ve devoted to our cause.
