ABOUT THE THEATRE

Way Off Broadway has been a leader in the area's performing arts community since it first opened its doors in late 1990 as Keynote Dinner Theatre. In 1995, with a new set of owners, the curtain rose for the first time on The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre with its inaugural production, Let the Good Times Roll. Less than an hour from DC, Baltimore, and Gettysburg, Way Off Broadway combines both fine dining and first class live entertainment. Way Off Broadway is also the only theatre in Frederick open and producing productions 52 weeks a year. In 1996, Way Off Broadway opened its wildly popular Children's Theatre - which remains the only one of its kind to this day - ensuring entertainment for all ages in the region. Over the year, the theatre has continued to produce larger scale productions while still providing guests with the one-on-one service they have came to know. In 2002, the Kiska Family purchased the theatre with a desire to expand the theatre and its operations. As many other theatres have come and gone over the years, Way Off Broadway has kept its eye on the future. Something fun and exciting is always happening at The Way Off Broadway Dinner Theatre & Children's Theatre!

These children's shows have become a favorite spot for families looking for a good time on the weekends, birthday parties, and school groups.

Everyone wants to be the next Sherlock Holmes. Do you have what it takes to solve the case?
