The plaque says, "Site of the First Theatre

William Levingston, merchant of Kent County, built the first theatre in English America on this site c. 1716. For three decades companies of actors entertained audiences at the "Play House" with latest successes from the London Stage. In 1745 the City of Williamsburg converted the frame structure into a municipal hall. The building was razed c. 1745 after the construction of the Courthouse on Market Square."
