What is MCCT?

How is the group run?

The Board of Directors carries out the business of the group, which includes making decisions about our production schedule, managing the Civic Theater's finances and promoting productions, as well as anything else that needs to be done in order to keep the Civic Theater running. The Bylaws require that there be at least three voting members of the Board, but no more than nine. Elections are held at the annual meeting in January, and Board members are elected for two-year terms. Board officers are also elected at the annual meeting. The exception to this would be appointed officers, such as the Webmaster, who are appointed directly by unanimous vote of the Board and have no vote in Board decisions.

Who is on the Board of Directors?

The current Board of directors is as follows:

Frank Buczolich, President
Rance Fawbush, Vice-President
Susan Anderson, Treasurer
Phillip Addison, Secretary
Bill Goveia, Member-at-Large
Roy Sillings, Member-at-Large

What kind of shows does MCCT put on?

We have presented plays from many time periods ranging from Greek and Medieval plays to modern times. These include plays by Euripides, Shakespeare, Moline, Racine, Tom Taylor, Gilbert and Sullivan, Checkov, Shaw, Wilde, Ibsen, Coward, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, and Sondheim, as well as Medieval farces and Japanese kyogen.

Perhaps our best-known productions, however, come from our Shakespeare in the Park series. We began this in August 1990 with a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream performed at Harmony School's outdoor stage. The series moved to the Third Street Park outdoor stage in 1992, and we have performed two plays by Shakespeare every summer since. In 2008, our June production will be The Tempest, and our September production will be The Two Gentlemen of Verona.

Where does MCCT perform?

We do not own a building in which to perform. Therefore, we perform at a variety of venues around Bloomington. Currently, we are most often in the Rose Firebay at the John Waldron Arts Center or on the outdoor stage at Third Street park. We have also performed at the Bloomington Playwrights Project, Monroe County Public Library, Second Story, Rhino's All Ages Club, the Monroe County Fall Festival, Bryan Park, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, and various schools in Bloomington.

Who can audition?

We welcome anyone who wishes to audition for any of our shows. We do not require a resume; in fact, we do not require any experience at all. We also invite children to audition if they are so inclined; there will often be parts they can fill, and they are a welcome part of our productions.

Can I be involved without being onstage?

Can I advertise in the programs?

Who can join?

Do I have to join to act with MCCT?

Participants in our productions are encouraged to become members of the Civic Theater, but not required to do so.
