About Comm Theater

THEATER

Our Community Theatre program focuses on engaging and unifying our community through the theatre arts. The programming includes a mixture of fully produced Musicals and plays along with Staged readings and improv comedy. Involvement in our productions is open to all community members. We have openings for performers, directors and technicians of all ages and skill levels.

Theatre production is an expensive endeavor, and the ticket sales from our plays only cover a small portion of the costs of running the theatre. Production costs include royalties, script purchases, scenery construction, costume creation and rentals, and myriad other expenses. We also have to cover the costs of purchasing and maintaining the equipment required for the operation of the theatre such as the lighting equipment and sound systems. We would not be able to exist without sponsorships from local business and individual community members. Please consider making a donation to help support these programs and the continuing operation of the Liberty Center.

JUNIOR THEATER

In addition to our Community Theatre offerings, we have an active Jr Theatre Program. The program has opportunities for performers and technicians from 7 to 18 years old, with a 'Minis' program for individuals under 7. Every year we have a summer musical and a school year play that focuses on new works and classics. We, also, have theatre workshops throughout the year, focusing on individual skills such as acting, auditions, improv, and design.

If you are interested in taking part in our productions, please contact the Liberty Center for information.
