Theater in the Wild
Black Hills Playhouse
Since 1946, Black Hills Playhouse has been producing quality theater surrounded by some of South Dakota’s most beautiful views. “The playhouse began as a dream of Dr. Warren M. Lee of the University of South Dakota ,” explained executive director Linda Anderson . Lee’s goals were to create high-quality entertainment for people in the Black Hills while providing training and employment opportunities for both students and theater professionals. Each year, auditions and interviews are held across the country in search of talented actors, directors, designers, technicians, and interns. Once selected, these artists live in dorms, rehearse, and build scenery and costumes on- site in picturesque Custer State Park .
