WELCOME TO THE CUTTER THEATRE

The Cutter Theatre is a non-profit arts center that accomodates all forms of visual and performing arts.  On the National Register of Historic Places, the Cutter was designed by famous architect, Kirtland Cutter.  The building was constructed in 1912 as the Metaline Falls School.  The bricks were made here in Metaline Falls.  The building served as a school until 1972, when it was closed and remained closed until 1991.  During these years the building was not maintained or heated, which led to much deterioration.  A local amateur performing group bought the building in 1991 and began renovation immediately, using mostly volunteers.  The first performance in The Cutter was in September 1991.
