Theatre - Stephenville

Stephenville was originally known as Indian Creek but was renamed by a group of French Acadian settlers in 1844 for a member of their party, Stephen LeBlanc. The community gained in stature during WW ll and the cold war when the United States established the Earnest Harmon Air Base just outside town. The town celebrates Harmon Field Day every two years as thousands gather to watch static aircraft displays and the air show put on by pilots of the NATO Countries. During July and early August, the Stephenville Theatre Festival attracts theatre buffs from all over. Its plays range from original works to professional quality productions of Broadway hits.
