I love going to community theatres to watch some shows.
Yes, me too!  I went to the Spokane Civic Theater in Washington a while back.  I guess it is one of the oldest community theaters in the US.
That's pretty cool! How old is it?
The theater started in 1947.  It has won a lot of awards as well.
That's quite old! I thought it would've been older though.
It is pretty recent.  I would imagine it does well as most community theaters have a large membership and employ full-time professional staff.
I would imagine that as well, yeah.
I visited the Oregon Shakespeare Festival on the same trip.  They produce eleven plays during the festival.  It was really cool.
Sounds like it, I wanna go there sometime.
I think the festival began in 1935.
