Our History

Our History
“The Elizabeth Crump Theater”
The Board of Directors voted unanimously to name the Playhouse stage 
in honor of theater enthusiast Miss Elizabeth Crump. 
Her on and off-stage contributions to the Montgomery Little Theatre are legendary, 
and the Cloverdale Playhouse would not be possible without her guidance and generosity. 
The Playhouse is so saddened to share the loss of a great light in our community, Miss Elizabeth Crump. 
As our audiences pass through the lobby and into the Elizabeth Crump Theatre, we hope everyone is filled with gratitude to her for the countless ways she encouraged, supported, and shaped the artistic community we benefit from today. Her endless care and support of the many arts organizations here in the area, her encouragement of young, blossoming artists, her passion and dedication for community are a burning light that must be carried onward in remembrance. Her legacy continues, the work and play continue. 
We have a great debt of thanks to Miss Crump and her family for all that they have given to the Playhouse 
and the arts community in the River Region and beyond.
