Current Production: Lobby & Bathroom renovation

CONSTRUCTION NEWS

The City of Westminster has given us a grant to upgrade our lobby bathrooms. The construction project was started on January 30th, 2012 and is expected to take 2 months. Therefore, it will be necessary for us to be dark during the planned 5th slot show, which is 25th Annual Putman County Spelling Bee. This show has been moved to the start of the new 2012-2013 season, in July.

Thank you for your patience in this matter. The above picture shows the lobby cleared of all items to facilitate the construction. The city authorized the removal of the tile floor and the acoustic ceiling panels. Additional pictures will be coming soon.

The Theater History

The theater was founded in 1961 as the Westminster Players with the presentation of Applause.  The building was constructed in 1974 and the first show presented on May 31, 1974, was Don't Drink the Water.  The building seats 122 persons and is presented in a Thrust Stage format.

Westminster Community Theater is a not for profit organization founded in 1967.  The board of directors consists of 12 full time members elected by the general membership and each member serves for 2 years.  The theater is a non-equity volunteer organization.   The theater has presented hundreds of plays since 1961.  The season consists of 6 shows, usually 1 musical, 1 murder mystery (and/or 1 drama) and 3 or 4 comedies.  The shows are presented for 3 weeks with 7-8 weeks of rehersals.  Show times are Fridays at 8:00 PM, Saturdays at 8:00 PM and 2 public Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM.  Please contact the Secretary (on the AboutUs page) for group rate and season ticket information. At the end of the year we have a presentation entitled The Abbey Awards. Here all actors from all shows are eligible for winning in their particular category, as well as Best Director and Best Show. The public is also invited and elections for new board members are cast by the members of the theater. A member is anyone who donates at least 10 hours during a season. We encourge everyone to get involved with your community theater. If you are interested in WCT, contact any of the board members by email - or call the voice mail/lobby number.
