At the June, 2011 MCAC Board Meeting, MCCT President Sunny Clouser, and Treasurer Barbara Scott were in attendance, and they lead the following discussion regarding to the current status of the Madison County Community Theatre:

Barbara Scott read a proposal regarding the remaining funds of the community theatre, (which is now inactive). These funds in the amount of $3,097.90, would be transferred to the MCAC treasury to be held as separate theatre group funds until June 1, 2014. If, during that three year period, the theater group should be reorganized, these funds would be transferred to the reorganized theatre group. Should the theatre group not reorganize within that three year period, the funds would become a part of the MCAC general fund. Should the MCAC cease to exist during that three year period, the funds are to be donated to the Madisonville ISD theater arts department in the name of the Madison County Community Theatre. Discussion followed the reading of the proposal, led by Sunny Clouser. A motion was made to accept the proposal, motion seconded, motion passed.

In June 2010, The Madison County Community Theatre staged its second mystery dinner theatre. Over 5 nights, more than 600 area residents packed the First United Methodist Church’s Wesley Hall to enjoy this comedy about a body found in a trunk on a truck owned by the “Y’all Haul Truck Rental Company.”

In June 2009 the Madisonville Community Theatre presented us with “Seussical the Musical”. Below are a few slideshows from different stages in the production of the show.

Rehearsals:

2008 saw the Madisonville Community Theatre try something completely new to Madisonville: Mystery Dinner Theatre. On arrival, guests were made to feel like they were attending a wedding reception. All the wait staff were actors, as was the obnoxious D.J., the “bridezilla”, and the rest of the crazy cast of characters one normally finds at weddings. During the festivities, amid the hillarious banter of the actors, a murder occured, and the guests helped solve the case over coffee and wedding cake. The delicious meals were prepared by the Madisonville High School Chapter of the FCCLA.

In June 2007 the Madisonville Community Theatre presented us with the musical “Bye, Bye Birdie”. Take a look at the slideshow of photos from the show below.

In June 2006 Madisonville Community Theatre presented us with “Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella”. Enjoy this slideshow of photos from the production below!

In June 2005 the Madisonville Community Theatre presented us with the production of the “The Wizard of Oz”.

In 2004, community theatre arrived in Madisonville in a BIG way!

Stephanie Schmidt directed with Jane Colwell as assistant director. Individuals ranging in age from seven years to sixty-“something” participated in auditions for the musical, “Annie”. Everyone who wanted to be in the show was included. Before the production took the stage at the end of June, almost one hundred area residents were actively involved in the project as actors, sponsors, or on crews or committees. The show’s three performances received rave reviews.
