Our History
The mission of the Waxahachie Community Theatre is to provide premier family friendly theatrical activities and productions to educate, enrich, and entertain.
WCT has been actively producing and presenting theatrical and musical events in Ellis County, Texas since 1979, using local volunteer talent and working to advance education and interest in theatrical arts. The theatre filed Articles of Incorporation with the State of Texas on December 17, 1979, and declared itself to be a non-profit corporation with perpetual duration. The corporation was also declared to be a membership organization.
WCT produces two fully staged Broadway-style musicals each season: one in early May and one in late October. We round out the season with our showcase plays — a light-hearted comedy in February, one in July geared toward young actors and audiences, and a Christmas show in December.
Performances for the 2025 season will be at University Church in Waxahachie (221 Solon Road, 75165).
WCT is an equal-opportunity theatre, and we welcome your interest in our endeavors.
A one-year membership is $40/individual or $60/family. A WCT membership includes:
- Voting rights at all member meetings
- Performance privileges for any show in which you are cast during the current season
Please note: A regular membership does not include tickets to the shows.
