The Cannon Theatre


The Cannon Theatre is a 501(c)3 theater located in Devens, MA. Our mission is to serve the community by offering a wide range of high quality 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. We pride ourselves in offering something for everyone!

TCT 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. This 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 the old mill building in Littleton. Over the years, the theater incorporated, and then became a non-profit organization, managed so that every precious cent made from each production is carefully fed right back into the creation of the next.

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 we hope you enjoy our beautiful new theater in Devens, MA!

We invite you to join us and experience this welcoming community, whether as an audience member, an actor, backstage crew, or even director. We guarantee you will leave feeling satisfied!
