Additional Description: One of the few visible reminders of the area's Army training days. The David W. Reid Playhouse was originally one of the several theaters built at the camp. The theater served dual roles. By day, it was used for instructional training by film. At night, the theater showed news reels and movies to the troops. In 1949 the Spartanburg County Foundation made the theater available to the Spartanburg Little Theatre for a lease of one dollar a year. In 1978, the foundation deeded the Camp Croft Playhouse to the Little Theatre. It was renamed the David W. Reid Playhouse in 1982 after longtime director David W. Reid. Reid had served at Camp Croft during the war and had returned to the area after the war. The Spartanburg Little Theatre has since relocated to a larger facility in Spartanburg. The playhouse is located at the intersection of West Croft Circle and Keltner Avenue.
