What is the NEXTWAVE?

The Evansville Civic Theatre has had a long, rich history of providing quality entertainment to the community. But a theater is only as good as its performers. We have been very fortunate to showcase many talented local performers and have built a wonderful family of theater enthusiasts within our community. We here at ECT would like to see that family grow. Enter, ECT - NEXTWAVE. The NEXTWAVE is the banner of our new Educational Program. NEXTWAVE will offer classes and productions to students of all ages, with the hope of educating individuals in the art of theater and in essence, training the next generation of great Civic Theatre performers.

 

B.A.T. Camp At CMoE June 17-21

Enjoy an engaging week of theatrical activities. Practice voice projection, stage presence and more! The week ends with a performance for the families and everyone has a part to play.

The 24-Hour Play Project

The Evansville Civic Theatre is very excited to bring this new concept to the area! The 24-Hour Play Project will take place at several Evansville high schools. The "24-Hours" will be broken into two separate days starting at 7 am on "Day 1" and end at 7 pm. The students will then come back to their respective school on "Day 2" at 7 am and perform their show at 7 pm. The students will write, direct, tech, and act in a 20-30 minute play that they've created! Tickets are only $10 for each show and help benefit the schools Drama Department and The NEXTWAVE Educational Program.
