The Waldo uses the transformational power of the arts to build community.

Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.

When the Waldo’s story started in 1936, during the Great Depression, it opened as a state-of-the-art movie house where the community gathered to laugh, to listen, to connect and to be moved together. That spirit still lives here today, now grown to include live music, theatre, stand-up comedy, visual art, and a thriving education program.

Our small but mighty team of staff and board of directors, along with over 30 volunteers, are dedicated stewards of this historic landmark building. Reopened in 2021 after decades of closure, we’re proud to help spark a cultural and economic renaissance across Waldoboro and the Midcoast. Whether you’re a long-time friend of the theatre or a first-time guest, you belong at The Waldo. Thank you for being part of our community!
