How you help | Volunteering extends beyond the acting and directing that the audience sees. As a not-for-profit organization, we round out “staff” with talented volunteers who want nothing more than to give of themselves. |

About us | The Dayton Theatre Guild opened with Outward Bound at the Dayton Art Institute in late 1945 and has staged live theatre every year since, with more than 400 productions to date. After producing stage plays at both the USO and Dayton Art Institute, the Guild found a home in a carriage house in Dayton View in 1950. In 1963, the theatre moved to its home of 46 years on Salem Avenue, a converted postal substation that featured an 88-seat thrust stage. Finally, with financial support from Guild patrons and local foundations and trusts, the Dayton Theatre Guild purchased its final home in downtown Dayton’s Oregon District. |
