The Merry-Go-Round Playhouse was founded in 1958 as the Auburn Children’s Theatre (A.C.T.) by Susan Riford and members of the Auburn Service League. Initially, the Theatre provided weekend dramatic classes for local children and in 1961 an in-school program was added. That in-school program grew into a state-wide touring children’s theatre by 1965, and in 1974 was fully professionalized and became known as the Merry-Go-Round Youth Theatre Program and would eventually evolve into being our Sequential Dramatics Program.
