Smiles and Frowns Playhouse

Smiles and Frowns Playhouse is a nonprofit organization dedicated to producing live children’s theatre in Pitt County, NC. School-age participants perform on stage and work behind the scenes.

We have introduced this magical artform to several thousand young people since our first show back in 1986, and look forward to many more years of providing quality children’s theatre for the families of eastern North Carolina.
