What is the NEXTWAVE?

The Evansville Civic Theatre has had a long, rich history of providing quality entertainment to the community. But a theater is only as good as its performers. We have been very fortunate to showcase many talented local performers and have built a wonderful family of theater enthusiasts within our community. We here at ECT would like to see that family grow. Enter, ECT - NEXTWAVE. The NEXTWAVE is the banner of our new Educational Program. NEXTWAVE will offer classes and productions to students of all ages, with the hope of educating individuals in the art of theater and in essence, training the next generation of great Civic Theatre performers.

NEXTWAVE PRODUCTIONS:

ECT: NEXTWAVE Productions will present exciting opportunities for young actors this season. Both of the scheduled performances will be directed by resident Director of Education, Christopher P. Tyner and further information about these projects can be obtained by contacting the theatre.

A powerful and timeless play that answers questions teenagers have been asking for ages. The play is a story of uncontrollable emotions, undeniable passions, of first love and lasting regrets. Exploring the subjects of sex, suicide, abortion, and religion, this play is a must see for parents and teens and a valuable lesson for all.

This is the original play upon which the current Broadway smash musical is based.
