The Cannon Theatre is a 501(c)3 nonprofit community theatre whose mission is is to serve the community by offering a wide range of theatrical experiences and productions that benefit and entertain. We welcome audiences and artists of all ages to learn and grow in a fun, collaborative environment.

Our history

The Cannon Theatre was founded by Shawn Cannon and Bret Bahe, who shared a dream of creating a community theater – a place for learning, and great plays, a place where people could enjoy the company of others, laugh, and just lose themselves in the joy of artistic expression. An intimate performance space was conceived of, designed, and built from scratch after they discovered and saw the great potential of a unique open space in an old mill building in Littleton. 

After 10 wonderful years at the Littleton location, The Cannon Theatre had to shut down during the pandemic and search for a new space. We wanted a slightly larger space to seat more patrons but not lose that intimate feel that is part of our DNA, safe and accessible parking, and to not move too far from where we had our beginnings. After two years of very creative online productions, and running around looking at building after building, we finally found it! And here you are, enjoying the first full season of shows at The NEW Cannon Theatre, now in Devens!

The Cannon Theatre board, which still includes the theater’s very active and passionate founders, invites you to join us and experience this welcoming community, whether as an audience member, an actor, backstage crew, or even director.
