ABOUT THE GUILD

1936 was a memorable year, the Statue of Liberty turned 50, the Hoover Dam was completed. The Academy Awards officially named their gold statuettes “Oscars”. The Yankees won their 5th World Championship. And we, the Webster Theatre Guild, were born. Founded in 1936 by Erva Smith and Rev. John Schott, the Webster Theatre Guild is a nonprofit, volunteer-based organization, and our mission is to provide area residents the opportunity to both attend and to participate in quality presentations of a cross section of the finest theatrical works available.  The Guild also supports artistic endeavors and development through student scholarships, and grants to the Webster PTSA and Webster Central School District.
