GREAT Theatre

We’re incredibly grateful for the loyal support of BCI Construction Inc.! 💙 Your partnership not only brings this inspiring story to life on stage, but it also helps create powerful experiences that connect our community and introduce young people to the magic of live theatre. By investing in the arts, you're enriching the vibrancy of our region. We’re honored you're part of our story!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our annual donors and sponsors, GREAT Theatre provided $40,370 in financial aid this summer, giving 213 students the opportunity to attend theatre camp. 🌟 In total, more than 833 youth are gaining confidence, building friendships, exploring their creativity, and developing essential life skills like communication, collaboration, and leadership...all in a space where they truly belong. These young people are not just performers. They are our future leaders, and your support is helping them grow. Thank you for investing in the next generation through the transformative power of the arts!

Thanks to funding from United Way of Central Minnesota through the 21st Century Community Learning Center grant, we’re investing in the next generation of educators. After completing training, these incredible interns are now gaining hands-on experience in our summer camps helping to deliver high-quality theatre education to youth while developing their own skills as aspiring educators.

It takes more than just brains, heart, and courage to make magic happen— it also takes incredible sponsors! Thank you to DJ Bitzan Jewelers, our Marquee Sponsor for "The Wizard of Oz", for helping us follow the yellow brick road to a spectacular show! 

A big shout out to United Way of Central Minnesota for organizing Days of Caring and to the amazing volunteers from Microbiologics, Schlenner Wenner & Co., Falcon National Bank, Park Industries, and GeoComm! Thanks to their incredible help, we’ve got candy ready to sweeten up the seats for our donors attending "Into the Woods" this weekend, fabrics neatly organized, platforms reset in the Helgeson Learning Lab Theatre, and the outside looking fabulous (and free of weeds!). The support of our community truly makes a difference!

Tech Week for Into The Woods is underway! All the elements are now coming together! We sat down with two people involved in the production, Sean and Amber Jacobson, who are married to each other and contributing to the show in quite different ways. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gjGa59uy #GREATstories
