Meridian Little Theatre - (601) 482-6371

Meridian Little Theatre is the largest subscription-based community theatre in the state of Mississippi.

Meridian Little Theatre has been bringing laughter and live entertainment to East Mississippi and West Alabama for over 80 years.

Founded in 1932 by a poetry reading group in Highland Park, MLT moved to many locations before finding a permanent home at the 52nd Street Playhouse. In 1973, that home burned to the ground. But, the show did go on, with performances held at the Temple Theatre until 1977 when construction was completed on the present day playhouse.

This modern theatre is housed in a million-dollar, specially designed facility, comfortably seating 400 with the latest in stage lighting and a Peavey sound system. A Board of Directors governs the theatre and employs an Executive/Artistic Director, Office Administrator, and several part-time staff.

Meridian Little Theatre has grown to be Mississippi’s largest community theatre, welcoming over 22,000 theatre-goers each season. MLT has been twice voted “Best Live Theatre” by Mississippi Magazine.

Our mission is to create and provide a diverse community theater that enriches, educates and entertains the people of east Mississippi and west Alabama.
