The Waukesha Civic Theatre, located in Waukesha, WI, is a non-profit corporation that has been providing quality live theatre performances and educational opportunities for more than 60 years. As one of the elite community theatres in the US, Waukesha Civic Theatre has produced over 650 shows, entertained over 450,000 audience members, and served over 15,000 students.
The theatre was founded back in 1957 and has been a cultural staple in the city of Waukesha ever since.

Theatre arts education has been a part of WCT's culture since its inception. The theatre provides educational opportunities that enrich, challenge, and entertain both participants and audience members. WCT believes that community theatre is about building a team of individuals who show up for one another - to create, to build, to plan, to dream, to clean, and to work - combining the efforts of paid and unpaid artists to create something beautiful.
Rhonda, the manager of Waukesha Civic Theatre, has been managing theatre departments in an educational setting for nine years. Rhonda has a love for Waukesha Civic Theatre and the City of Waukesha, where she lives with her husband, their children, and their beloved pets.
