Community Theater Program
Bringing stories to life together.
The JCA is thrilled to introduce our new Community Theater Program — a vibrant, multi-generational space where creativity, connection, and collaboration take center stage. Designed for community members ages 10 to 100, the program welcomes seasoned performers, first-time actors, behind-the-scenes enthusiasts, and anyone who loves the magic of live performance. No matter your experience level, there’s a place for you in our community theater family.
Rooted in the JCA’s mission to build community through arts and culture, our theater program offers opportunities for people of all ages and experience levels to come together, learn new skills, and share in the joy of storytelling. From musicals to plays, each production celebrates the diverse voices and talents within our community.
