Community Theatre Programming

The Greater Grand Forks Community Theatre operates three main programming components.

Community Theatre: The Community Theatre produces three major amatuer productions per year (fall, winter, spring), including one amatuer musical. Community Theatre productions are open to the public at large, and no prior experience is needed to audition. Production time is voluntary. Rehearsals typically run five weeks, with a three weekend production run.

Spotlight Players: The Spotlight Players are the Community Theatre's young performers. Designed for ages 4-14, the Spotlight Players present a winter musical designed to give young performers stage experience as well as teach valuable life skills.

Crimson Creek Players: Crimson Creek is a non-equity professional theatre troup that produces one-two major summer musicals (June and August). While auditions are open to the public, Crimson requres a more experienced performer (singing, dancing, acting). Productions rehearse for fourteen intense evenings and perform for one-two weeks. Performers, staff, musicians, and technical crew are compensated for their time. The purpose of Crimson Creek is to give pre-professional experience to performers who are persuing post secondary education, or who have completed their education. The Crimson Creek rehearsal schedule is restricted to mirror typical Broadway production schedules.
