Instituted in the summer of 2006, was an outgrowth of the Waupaca Community Theatre as a response to the overwhelming number of children who wished to participate in summer shows but perhaps were unable due to the cast size/needs or thematic elements of the summer mainstage productions. The cast of elementary through senior high school age students rehearses during June and July and then presents a week of performances at the Waupaca Middle School’s Knoepfel Auditorium in late July. The Waupaca Community Children’s Theatre has recently been partnering with the Waupaca School District through the District’s Summer School Program. The theatre program provides a wonderful learning experience for the students and a great feeder system for the Waupaca Community Theatre. Auditions are held in April.
The Waupaca Community Children’s Theatre is overseen by the Waupaca Community Theatre’s Board of Directors.
