Idea Description

In 1969, a group of 16 people with a love of theater and a desire to entertain got together to form a theater company that has endured and prospered for over 35 years. The original group including such locals as Charley and Mary Burkett, Bob Bennett, Patsy Sunstrand, Felix Racette, Judy and Ron Schincariol and Dave and Jan Wilder received permission from the Community Schools Program to produce plays at the old Michigan Ave. School which is now the community education center. Receiving the money to pay for the plays royalties, this small group performed "The Silver Whistle" as their first endeavor. With a positive response from the community for local theater and good, clean fun, the group was off and running.
