At Quincy Community Theatre, we count ourselves lucky. Of the hundreds of students who flow through our doors, we have the opportunity to watch many of them grow, and learn, and find their place within the organization as adults. This season, Harrison Clarke has done more than find his place—he’s made himself indispensable backstage. Learn … Continued
If your calendar looks anything like mine, it’s starting to fill with all kinds of holiday-related activities, from the family Thanksgiving dinner in just a few weeks, to the holiday parties, gift shopping, decorating, planning, baking, and so many other activities that fill our lives as fall transitions into that “most wonderful time of year.” … Continued
Right away I was excited about designing the new season logos because I love a challenge, and I love storytelling, and I love theatre, and I love art. This project combined all of them! I knew I wanted all the logos to have a look that made them fit together while still capturing, as succinctly … Continued
A good spy never gets caught, but should a good spy really record everything she hears, even if it’s hurtful? It’s a question all young spies—and grownups—must answer for themselves, and no children’s novel asks it better than HARRIET THE SPY.

Over the past quarter century, I have taught OUR TOWN to high school juniors, trying as best I can to make it relevant. It is not a play that always resonates with 17-year olds, yet it is one that sticks in one’s memory as we grow older and become more aware of the meaning of … Continued
Sandwiched between two saucy musicals, QCT’s production of OUR TOWN might have a tendency to disappoint the playgoers of our community. Please, please, please, attendees, do not let this happen!

Some are repeat actors who have been in many shows, some are brand new to QCT. Local professionals, students, stay-at-home moms, retirees – … Continued
Adults, when you hear “Student Theatre,” what comes to mind? I’m going to make an assumption right now that, for most of you, student theatre belongs to your “yesterday.” You remember the “good old days” onstage with Connie, or Brandon, or Dominic, or any number of student directors and leave it at that.

Have you ever had one of those moments where you are scrolling through your Facebook newsfeed and you notice that a friend of yours from high school is friends with another one of your Facebook friends?

This year’s Triple Threat Boot Camp (TTBC) was truly an amazing sight. Nearly 80 students gathered on our stage, each and every one of them as talented and as passionate about theatre as the next.
