About "Our Place"

From the sawdust on the floor to the paintings on the wall, to the delicious food served up family-style, the Brundidge Historical Society obviously knows instinctively that the public can be effectively reached through all its senses and has created the perfect aesthetic atmosphere for preserving Alabama¹s valuable folk heritage. The We Piddle Around Theater is a "jewel in the lapel" of Pike County.

About Our Organization

The Brundidge Historical Society is a non-profit organization designed to preserve and promote the physical and cultural heritage of Brundidge and the surrounding communities in an effort to enrich the quality of community, family and individual life. 

About Our Theatre

The "We Piddle Around Theater" is housed in the former Brundidge City Hall building which was built in 1940 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) Project. The WPA provided jobs for those who desperately needed and wanted to work. However, the WPA workers gained the reputation, rightly or wrongly so, of folks just "piddling around" rather than putting in a full day¹s hard work. The WPA was, therefore, dubbed "We Piddle Around."
When the Brundidge Historical Society was considering names for the theater, many suggestions were made but none so fitting as the "We Piddle Around Theater."
A good bit of piddlin¹ and whole lot of hard work has gone into the theater and its original folklife play, "Come Home, It¹s Suppertime." We hope that those who share these nights with us leave believing all the piddling has been worthwhile.

About Our Town

Brundidge is located in South Alabama on U.S. Highway 231 between Montgomery and Dothan and eight miles south of Troy, home of Troy University. The We Piddle Around Theater is located one mile off the highway at the traffic light in downtown Brundidge. We¹ve only got one "stop light" so you can¹t miss it.

The Brundidge Historical Society would like to express special appreciation to the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts for the grants that enabled us to lay the groundwork for a community theater in Brundidge. Without the confidence shown in this project by the state arts council, we might not have undertaken such as ambitious project. We also thank the Alabama License Plate Program for grants for the enhancement of our community theater program. We hope the seeds that have been sown by this project will continue to be fruitful and multiply.
