For more than 80 years Wausau Community Theatre has led the way in bringing local talent together to provide a quality, accessible and affordable theatre experience for the community, by the community. However, the true impact of Wausau Community Theatre goes way beyond the final product audiences see on stage.
An inclusive environment welcomes everyone at Wausau Community Theatre. While each cast is unique, the one thing they all have in common is the friendship and bonding as a theatre family that comes out of each production. Many of these relationships continue long after shows are done.
Wausau Community Theatre influences a significant amount of event related spending. Audience surveys support that many shop, dine and go out for drinks before or after shows. Ticket sales also demonstrate that more are traveling from outside of the greater Wausau area and including a WCT show as part of their destination weekend increasing lodging at area hotels. With local expenses for producing a show at the Grand Theater averaging about $7,000, we also invest thousands of dollars in the local economy each season for production costs.
By giving people a glimpse into what the theatrical or musical performance displays, Wausau Community Theatre fosters community building by creating a sense of understanding within diverse groups of the community. An example of this included engaging staff and clients from a certified psychosocial rehabilitation community to facilitate talkback sessions after performances of WCT’s production of NEXT TO NORMAL using the diversity of theater to open a conversation about mental illness.
