Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.

When The Waldo’s doors opened in 1936, an unlikely bet in the middle of the Great Depression, it began as a movie house where the community gathered to catch a matinee, to be moved by a story on the big screen, and to share some laughs together. Ninety years later, that same spirit of connection still flourishes here today, now grown to include live music, theatre, stand-up comedy, visual art, and an exceptional education program.

Our small but mighty team of staff, board of directors, and generous volunteers are dedicated caretakers of this historic landmark building and devoted to the community we serve. Reopened in 2021 after years of closure, we’re proud that it’s once again an arts and culture hub for Waldoboro residents, our neighbors across the Midcoast and beyond.
 
Whether you’re a long-time friend of the theatre or a first-time guest, you belong at The Waldo. Thank you for being part of our community, and we look forward to seeing you at an upcoming show!
