Delaware Theatre Company is the original landmark of culture in Wilmington, Delaware. Delaware Theatre Company (DTC) provided a central location for the redevelopment of the Christina River waterfront area, now frequented by tourists and residents. The theatre and its resident cast offer enrichment programs for children and regular programming with five scheduled productions per season.

Delaware Theatre Company aims to make theatre accessible to everyone through community service and high-quality diverse theatrical performances. The company performs both traditional and contemporary, occasionally accepting original scripts from playwrights represented by literary agents. This vibrant mix of perennial favorites (such as plays by Shakespeare and Moliére) and new repertoire from local and international contemporaries.

The theatre company was established before it had residency here. After the conception of the waterfront redevelopment initiative, the theatre company’s former converted firehouse residence was slated to be sold. The state government mediated a deal enabling the theatre to exist in the riverfront area. Since then, the Delaware Theatre Company has spearheaded continual cultural appreciation in the riverfront area.

To reach the area’s residents and inspire each generation with theatrical enjoyment and patronage, the DTC offers student matinees at discount prices. Students may also meet the cast at their school and after the show and receive study guides. DTC also provides a special program for children with cognitive disabilities.

Students between ages 8 and 15 are also eligible to attend summer camp at the theatre.

The Delaware Theatre Company is considered a welcome part of theatre in the Philadelphia area, even winning Barrymore Awards originating in the City of Brotherly Love.

You can view current show listings and purchase tickets online, but to avoid a $4.00 processing fee, you should call the ticket hotline at (302) 594-1100 or visit the box office in person to purchase tickets. The theatre will not refund tickets due to inclement weather, so if the weather is questionable, it may be best to plan for another day. Children not yet old enough to attend school are not permitted to attend the theatre’s performances.

The theatre is wheelchair accessible. To receive wheelchair-accessible seating, the theatre requests that you notify the box office when ordering your ticket. The theatre also offers large print programs and an infrared listening system (deposit required for listening system).
