Our History

We are proud of our heritage which began in the late 70’s. Charles Winzeler, a guidance counselor in the Archbold School system, founded an organization called “Friends of the Arts”. Out of this organization sprang “Archbold Community Theatre”. In January of 1999, we took the plunge and purchased Giffey Hall in Ridgeville Corners which is now the home of Archbold Community Theatre.
