Millsboro’s Historic Millstone Theatre to Reopen Under PCA Productions, the Visionaries Behind The Milton Theatre
MILLSBORO, DE — PCA Productions, the creative powerhouse behind the successful revitalization of the Milton Theatre, has officially announced it will take over and reopen the historic Millstone Theatre at 214 Main Street in downtown Millsboro.
Operating as an independent entity, the venue will benefit from the proven leadership and artistic expertise of the PCA Productions team. The revival of the theatre serves as the marquee project for the Town of Millsboro’s broader downtown redevelopment initiative—a strategic effort aimed at restoring the historic district to its vibrant heyday.
A Transformative Anchor for Downtown Millsboro
Town leaders view the venue’s return as a major economic catalyst that will drive foot traffic, support local merchants, and redefine downtown nightlife.
“We have restaurants and retail in town, but we’ve needed a true anchor. A theatre like this is the piece that drives everything else. Seeing the success of the Milton Theatre and its immense economic impact, I saw the potential here immediately. This is the exact venue that is going to propel downtown redevelopment.”
— Mayor Bob McKee, Town of Millsboro
“In my nearly four years with the town, I can hands-down say this is the biggest and most exciting news for Millsboro. Pairing our walkable downtown and dining options with a world-class entertainment hub is fantastic. We are fully committed to supporting the theatre and the entire downtown district.”
— Ashleigh Sander, Assistant Town Manager
Preserving History for the Arts
The transition marks a victory for historical preservation and the local arts community, fulfilling the former owners’ steadfast vision for the building’s future.
“We stood firm that this building had to remain dedicated to the performing arts—even when it wasn’t easy. Had we not stepped in, I don’t know how much longer the structure could have survived. To save this building and see it transition into its next chapter is deeply rewarding.”
— Julie Hattier & Eric Clarke, Former Owners
A Regional Destination for Live Entertainment
PCA Productions brings a track record of dynamic community engagement and high-caliber programming to the project.
“We are going to work tirelessly to restore the venue and open these doors as quickly as possible. Beyond the physical restoration, our real passion is building a home for the arts that serves the entire region. The ultimate vision is to deliver a vibrant, diverse lineup of live entertainment where there is truly something for everyone.”
— Fred Munzert, Director of Milton Theatre / PCA Productions
Looking Ahead: Target Opening Summer 2027
PCA Productions is embarking on several months of extensive physical restoration to ready the venue for the public. Local residents, businesses, and arts patrons are invited to follow the journey, attend upcoming community meet-and-greets, and sign up for exclusive ticket announcements and progress updates.
