July Update

It's been a while since we've updated you on what's happening at the theatre. Be assured, we've been quite busy any many exciting things are happening!

Our landscaping project is nearing completion. Nearly all of the planting are in and the entire area has been freshly sodded. Initial bandstand drawings are complete and we hope that construction will begin in the coming months.

Next week, we will begin the renovation of the concession stand. We will be having a demolition and clean up night at the theatre on Tuesday, July 27 at 5:30 p.m. We will start demolition of the concession stand. We will also have clean up outside around the building to spruce it up for the fair. We would appreciate all the help we can get.

If you want to have a full update on what's going on at the theatre, we encourage you to attend the bi-monthly general meeting of the Community Theatre, which will be held Wednesday, July 28 at 7:00 p.m.

Our children's acting workshop was a complete success! Both sessions were completely full. The kids worked very hard and put on an excellent performance last night.

Our summer melodrama, "I Only Have Fangs for You" was also quite successful and will debut once again during the Cuming County Fair August 14 & 15.

Plans are being made for our fall production, "Charlie's Aunt." Stay tuned for production details and tryouts.

Again, we certainly appreciate all of your support. We have some of the most dedicated patrons we could ever ask for. Again, thank you!

General Meeting this Wednesday

The West Point Community Theatre General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 27 at 7:00 p.m. at the Theatre. We will have a lot to talk about!

During this meeting we will also hold our annual elections. We have new bylaws drawn up and these will be discussed at the meeting. In order to bring our current Board into conformity with these new bylaws, we will nominate a minimum of 12 candidates for the 12 Board positions. After the Board has been elected, the officers will be elected from the Board members. Along with incumbents running for reelection, we will ask for nominations from the floor at the meeting. If you have any questions, want to nominate someone, or can’t attend the meeting, please call president, Jerry Hugo at 380-9813.


Reports will be given from the Cinema Committee. We always have encouraging and exciting news on that front!


The Building Committee is getting closer to a plan for the renovations and additions we desperately need. We will have preliminary drawings available for review! We can now begin to put price tags on projects and start to raise funds. This will involve some serious challenges and money, so stay on board for the run to make this a premier attraction!

Bill Stokely and Marlene Weichman and crew have been hard at work in preparation for the March production of “OLIVER!” We will receive an update on their progress.

Our acceptance to the State and National Register of Historic Places is very exciting news for us. Thanks to our historian Chase Becker for all of his work.

Membership dues will be accepted for the 2010-year at this meeting. We will discuss reasons for a paid membership at this time. Dues remain at $10 for a single membership and $15 for couples.

We will have discussion on many other topics. Please bring your ideas for our projects. As you can see, we have a lot going on and hopefully we’ll see all of you at the meeting and again, if there are any questions or bits of advise, please feel free to call Jerry Hugo at 402-380-9813
