	History of Community Theatre
		In the West, a Community Theatre was founded in Salt Lake City in 1853; and in the South, the Thalian Association of Wilmington, North Carolina, has been in existence since the 1788, hosting a number of community theatre groups.
		But the community theatre movement didn't really take off until the turn of the last century when, with the advent of movies, the small-town professional playhouses either closed due to the competition from this new artform or were converted to movie-houses.
		Today, there are literally thousands of community theatre groups around the country from gypsy troupes that have just started, to more established companies in remodeled opera houses such as the Lyric, to larger associations that have built their own six and seven figure theatre houses in larger metropolitan areas.
