In 1953, Broadway producer John Cameron contracted with the American Legion to begin producing summer stock in the pavilion, which was renamed the Legion Star Playhouse. Cameron brought in big names from New York to perform in his plays, including Roy Scheider, Robert DeNiro, Betty White and Ann B. Davis.
After John Cameron's departure in 1972, a group of volunteer citizens began to present and produce plays in order to preserve the tradition of what had become known as The Playhouse in the Park. The group grew and evolved, eventually incorporating as a not-for-profit organization in 1979. The first season presented under the name Ephrata Performing Arts Center was in the summer of 1980.

We saw my fair lady. The show was amazing. The cast could not have been better. Everyone did a wonderful job. The theater layout is excellent not a bad seat in the house. Definitely recommend going to a show you won't be disappointed. Last year we Saw beauty and the beast and we felt the same about it. We can't wait till the next show we see at Ephrata performing arts center.
