Raleigh Little Theatre is a community-based performing arts organization in Raleigh, North Carolina. It was founded in 1936 when local performers partnered with the federal Works Progress Administration's theatre project, establishing a campus that features a 300-seat proscenium theater, a 2,000-seat outdoor amphitheater, and a Rose Garden. The organization emphasizes accessibility and affordability, inviting participation from volunteers, students, and audiences of all ages, whether on stage or behind the scenes. Over the years it has earned recognition for its education programs and connections to notable performers, reflecting a history of contributing to the regional theatre landscape. Operating within the performing arts sector, Raleigh Little Theatre acts as a community hub for education, entertainment, and volunteer involvement. In July 2025 it announced a partnership with the City of Raleigh to bring its adult acting classes into the broader community.
