Mission Statement
A theatre should be a cornerstone of its society.
Our Town Theatre will provide a wide variety of plays and other theatrical experiences to encourage the growth of knowledge and positive action in our community.
We strive to open the mind, inspire the imagination, animate the senses, nourish the spirit, and propagate humor. We will nurture respect and compassion for others, and foster awareness, perseverance, and hope. We will provide opportunities for the artistic development of artists and writers in the performing arts.
By maintaining high artistic standards and by understanding interrelating with our local citizens, we will endeavor to meet the needs of our community.
Happily Ever Once Upon
written by Virginia Kidd
Have you ever wondered what happened when the ball was over? Did Prince Charming and Cinderella really live "happily ever after"? What happens to that dream 20 years (and 5 kids) later? The Enchanted Kingdom is nearly bankrupt, Cinderella's fairy godmother turns out to be a blackmailer with a love of terrible Westerns, and the only person, besides Cinderella, Prince Charming can trust is his advisor, Jason, who happens to have one arm and one swan wing.
Join us Feb. 29 - March 4 to see what happens when the glass slippers no longer fit. Production times are 8 pm Wednesday - Saturday and 2 pm Sunday. You can make reservations by using the form on this website or by calling the theatre.
Because this play contains some adult themes and mild language, we suggest it is appropriate for ages 14 and older.
Distracted is a play about children with ADHD. We will be holding auditions for this play in March. Check back soon for exact dates and information about the play.
KidStuff is over for another year! We had a great time and hope to see everyone next year.
Next up is Career Day! If your child participates in this program in the spring, sign up for the theatre class! Christie is already planning what she'll do!
Don't forget about Barter Camp this summer. We'll post the dates and registration information in late spring!

Our Town Theatre is run exclusively by people just like you. We need volunteers to help in whatever capacity they can.
We constantly need help with productions, and not just on stage talent, though we always enjoy seeing new faces on our stage! Volunteers stage manage, run lights, build sets, help with costumes, sound effects, and work our box office. From handing out programs at the door to managing the production, we are grateful for any help you can provide!
And if working on a production isn't your thing, don't despair! The theatre always needs maintenance. We'd love to have you help in anyway you're able! We need weeds pulled, costumes organized, help with our children's programs and fundraisers...the list goes on and on. Please don't think you can't help us just because you don't like to perform. Truth be told, our on stage performers make up just a small part of our volunteers!
And, if you're a student, you should be aware that volunteering at the theatre can earn you service learning hours, this includes behind-the-scenes work as well as acting in a production!
We provide training for all areas, so if you're interested in volunteering but have no experience, that's fine!
Use the "contact us" form on this page to submit an email to us! In the "subject" line, please indicate the area where you'd like to volunteer (costume shop, set construction, theatre maintenance, etc.), so we can direct your inquiry to the appropriate committee. We strive to follow up with all interested volunteers within one week of email submission.
