Canton Community Theatre started innocently enough in 2001 when several parents worked together on a 5th Grade play, The Sound of Music, and wondered “Why is there no adult theatre in Canton? After all, almost all our surrounding towns have community theatre groups, why not Canton?” We suspected there was plenty of untapped talent in town, so we decided to test the waters with a small but beloved musical; You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. They even laughed. We were ecstatic! But nothing prepared us for our first summer show, The Music Man. Over 125 people auditioned to be in the show… and the sold out audiences told us, we had started a good thing in Canton. Now 16 years and over 60 shows and events later, we have grown, evolved, made lots of friends and touched many many lives. We put the Community first in our Community Theatre and are always looking for new and exciting projects that make Canton a great place to live. We can’t be a community theatre without community involvement and look forward to your contribution. Come join us, be in a show, help out backstage or just come and be entertained. You can also participate by joining our meetings, volunteering for a committee or sending in your feedback. We would love to hear from you so together we can achieve more for Our Community. We are the Canton Community Theatre. If you would like to become part of Canton Community Theatre or if you have any questions please contact us at [email protected].
