Broadway Theatre League was founded in 1959 by the Business & Professional Womens Club of Huntsville and the shows were held at Huntsville High School! In the early days, touring theatre veterans Joan Bennett, Dorothy Lamour, John Carradine, and John Raitt came to Huntsville. In 1975, BTL moved the performances to the new Von Braun Center and brought bigger scale shows to town. The 1990s brought about the now standard weekend performance schedule and the beginning of the mega-musical.
