Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette is one of the oldest continuously active theatre organizations in Indiana, founded in 1931 as the Lafayette Little Theatre (LLT), then reorganized and incorporated as Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette in 1966. Civic Theatre is Greater Lafayette’s community theatre in the purest sense of the word. A theatre that entertains the community, serves the community, reflects the community, and involves the community. 

​

Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette has called the Historic Monon Depot home since May 1980.

​

Currently, Civic Theatre is striving to become a better corporate citizen. With generous help from North Central Health Services, Tipmont Envirowatts, and several generous patrons, Civic Theatre has adopted green technology whenever possible, including all LED lighting in the lobby, house lighting, and work lighting on stage. It is the hope of Civic Theatre to continue these and other green initiatives well into the future.
