The Garden City Community Theatre

The Garden City Community Theatre was founded in 1996 by Brad and Ruby Gustavson after joining the Community Church and realizing the fellowship opportunity in a church based theatre ensemble.   It reaches out to the local community extending the goodwill and warm spirit of Christian fellowship in a safe and wholesome environment. With the support of Reverend Jim Adelmann and the help of long time church members Ced Melkonian and Barbara Seale, they presented their idea to the Council of Trustees. With the Council's blessing and financial support, the first production, It's A Fine Life, debuted in 1997.

Over the years, many new cast and production members have been welcomed into the Community Theatre. Families have performed together and worked backstage hand-in-hand; kids have grown up with the Community Theatre, returning year after year to sing countless Broadway and pop songs; and many new friendships have been formed while working together to stage the productions.

A musical comedy production is presented each spring.  Rehearsals and performances are in Gardner Hall of the Garden City Community Church.

The theater group seeks to provide an opportunity for parents and their children to do something together that is fun and productive. The laughter and applause provide memories to share for a lifetime.
