Beaver Dam Community Theatre
Our building at 219 N. Spring Street, Beaver Dam WI, acquired in 1983, represents a quest for our own place that began forty years ago. In 1964, our community theater began its years of rehearsals in any temporary spaces we could beg or borrow. The Beaver Dam Community Theatre, recently named the Beaver Dam AREA Community Theatre, opened its first show, Harvey, on a converted, temporary stage at the local movie theater and also performed at schools, in the mall, in restaurants, and any other available venues. Throughout those "roving" years and to the present, the commitment of our volunteer members and patrons has made it possible to consistently offer a three show season and a broad variety of high quality productions.
The BDACT building, formerly the First Baptist Church, provides an ideal intimate theater with excellent acoustics and two floors of work, storage, and performance space. In recent years, to accommodate our increasingly larger audiences, we present our summer musicals at the state-of-the art Beaver Dam High School auditorium.
With the help of our new half-time Managing Director and a strong volunteer base, BDACT is pursuing a number of goals outlined in its action plan. Some of those include training workshops, field trips, expanded programming, and the further development of our management and organizational structure. True to our commitment as an AREA theater, BDACT encourages and welcomes volunteer staff, performers, and audience from many surrounding communities.
