Stillwater Theatre is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) professional theatre company-in-residence at Meredith College. The company was formed in 2005, with a mission to create stirring passionate thought provoking theatre that will engage and inspire the audience and to forge new relationships with future generations of artists and audiences through outreach and volunteer programs. Stillwater strives to bring female voices, artists and perspectives to the stage.

Stillwater Theatre offers free dramatic readings, outreach programs and a means of access to Meredith College students for participation in a professional theatre environment.

Meredith theatre faculty member Steven Roten serves as the company's Artistic Director and former Meredith Faculty member James Cuthrell serves as the technical director.

Stillwater Theatre produces one play per year on campus, in supplement to those presented by Meredith Ensemble Theatre. The company produces plays with professional actors, designers and directors, affording Meredith students a chance to be exposed to a professional experience. Meredith students have the opportunity to audition for roles and also are able to serve in technical positions for Stillwater Theatre.

Since 2005, the company has produced Scenes and Revelations by Elan Garonzik, Neil Simon's The Odd Couple (Female Version), Elizabeth: Almost by Chance A Woman by Dario Fo (2007 Top Ten Triangle productions: Raleigh News and Observer), and a variety of staged readings.
