Playmakers Theater Historic Preservation

Nature has played a central role in the story of Covington’s Playmakers Theater. Set in the historic Sans Souci forest, an old dairy barn that remained after a hurricane razed the property’s massive estate was converted into a community theater that has hosted performances since 1955. A fire later destroyed the barn, and a new theater was built with a similar style and orientation in 1977. Today, Playmakers Theater is home to the longest ongoing troupe of amateur players in Saint Tammany Parish. MKS is supporting the theater with planning for the ongoing care of this beloved place.
