A nearly century-old community theater in Alton that runs a summer kids theater camp culminating in a full youth production (recently Annie JR). Campers rehearse Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, over roughly two weeks and cover acting, singing, dance and stage movement plus backstage skills including lighting, sound, set design and costume design. The camp is open-enrollment for community youth and ends in public performances at the theater's Showplace.

Powered by GoogleThis is a jewel in Alton's crown. A little known treasure. Now I have to admit I am biased because they actually let a hack actor like me on stage. So thank you for that. But.. these people are the best. They open their arms and let people in. They are great actors.. great people and great friends. I am always blown away by the level of their shows. Chicago ROCKED. Godspell was amazing. I realized from the first show I saw there the attract some great actors and directors. This has been going for 80+ years. Keep it up.

Went to their valentines dinner and murder mystery what a flop it was ran out of some food had spaghetti noodles with no sauce to put on them. My food wasn't even Luke warm. Then they are having asigned seating but I was told they may not be able to accommodate me in a wheelchair. Thanks for taking the one thing I can still do away. So far not caring for this new director. Took my wife there for valentines day was the worst valentines day of our 37 years together
I saw “Chicago”, what a great and wonderful performance. The actors, the dancers were excellent. I really enjoyed the show, I really hope it is presented again!!
For a community theater,they were excellent! The sound was good enough that you could hear everything. It is a small venue and there a just a few seats that a person with mobility issues would be able to access. The ramp from the parking lot to the door is quite long and steep near the top- but at least it is provided. They do need to clip the bushes as they make using the handrail difficult. The performance and workers are great!
