In the winter of 1991, Karen MacLean was approached by her friend
Greg Fowler about the possibility of starting an amateur theatre group
in Wasaga Beach. Both Karen and Greg were members of the Blue Mountain
Foundation for the Arts. They decided to give it a try and advertised
a meeting of interested people for this purpose. The meeting was very
successful and ultimately the first Board of Directors of “Wasaga
Community Theatre” was elected. It consisted of Ruth Burnett, Cheryl
Chase, Greig Fowler, Elizabeth Gibson, Velma Kyte, Jim Lupton, Karen
MacLean, Rennie McWilliam, Burt Redpath, Brenda Sigouin and Florence
Walker.
After significant fundraising and help from the Wasaga Beach Lions
Club and the Town of Wasaga Beach, we were underway with our first
production “Exit The Body”. Since that time the group has gone on to
produce two to three plays per year, including several children’s
productions. |

Our purpose is to bring this wonderful art form of live theatre to our
community in order to enhance the lives of our audience as well as give
our citizens an outlet for their incredible talent. |

We perform each Spring and Fall.
Past performances have included: Oliver, Fiddler on the Roof,
Oklahoma, Steel Magnolias and Grapes of Wrath to name just a few. |
| Encouraging and participating in community theatre is not just
entertaining but a terrific educational experience as well. Volunteers
from Wasaga Beach and surrounding communities are offered an
opportunity to learn about acting, directing, producing, stage
management (including design, lighting, etc.), makeup, costumes and
all the wonderful things that go into a production involving
creativity and teamwork. Participation in community theatre can be a
valuable and unforgettable experience. We always welcome new members
of all ages. |
