The rebuilding of Pec Playhouse Theatre sits squarely at the intersection of cultural and community development. As an anchor business in Pecatonica, it's time for Pec Playhouse to return to downtown Pecatonica and create social and financial benefits for residents, visitors, volunteers, patrons, donors, technicians, artisans, and actors.

PPT HOLIDAY SHOW NAMED

Our holiday show in 2026 will be The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. 

In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids – probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won't believe the mayhem – and the fun – when the Herdmans collide head-on with the story of Christmas!

This delightful show is adapted from the bestselling Young Adult book, and has become a holiday staple for groups across the United States. The crowd-pleasing comedy features plenty of great roles for children and adults, a few favorite Christmas Carols, and lots of laughs.

This completes our slate for 2026. Our first show will be Slow Food, followed by Leaving Iowa and finally, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Performance dates and times are below.

What Folks Are Saying

 
  • Sharon Boehlefeld
    I have always loved live theatre. Being able to watch a good show without having to drive very far is what drew me to Pec Playhouse. It's also nice to be able to help from way off stage by volunteering my time.
