South Bend Civic Theatre

"South Bend Civic Theatre was founded in 1957 by two Notre Dame graduates who wanted to instill the importance of community theater in the community and offer an avenue for potential actors and performers to grow their skills in South Bend. In 2007, the Civic Theatre moved into its current home in downtown South Bend in what was formerly a First Church of Christ Scientist and has become a keystone of South Bend’s art community. The Civic Theatre now puts on over 125 performances a year in two theaters, the 209-seat Wilson Auditorium and the 80-seat “black-box” Warner Studio Theatre. Over the next 10 years, the theater will put on 10 of August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning post-manufacturing “Rust Belt” stories, and you can bet we'll be in attendance." - West.SB
