Masquerade Theatre, Inc. has been producing theatrical productions for 16 years including musicals, comedies, dramas, children's plays, workshops, and concerts. Our formal season begins each spring with a major musical production followed by three additional shows to complete a four production season. We also provide other workshops, concert, etc. during the year.

Masquerade Theatre has already presented many successful productions including "Joseph and the Amazina Technicolor Dreamcoat." The production of "Joseph" was one o/our most aggressive and successjul show with 11 wonderful performances shown to over 4,000 folks from our area. Immediately following "Joseph," our children s theatre opened with six .fun shows oj the classic "Charlotte's Web." Last fall Peter Pan fiewfor the Jirst time over Union City through eight exciting performances of "Peter Pan." And opening on June 9th, "Nunsense" comes to the Capitol for eight performances o/this .funny and heartwarming musical production.

All o/our productions cover a range of audience appeal and a variety of potential participation from our area. In "Joseph" for example, we had 42 children on stage to augment the 30 adults. "Charlotte s Web" had a double cast of over 80 young people. Recently we had the good fortune to have the talents o/Valli Kugler-Kelly (Miss Tennessee 2002) co-starring in our sold-out production o/"Qrease."

Last year we had sell-out productions of "Annie" and "High School Musical" This summer we had our second Children's Summer Camp with 55 students who presented "Willy Wonka Jr." We are currently producing the Northwest Tennessee premiere o/"FireJly Summer", an adaptation o/R.C.

It is our continued goal to bring to Northwest Tennessee a quality art form through the medium of live stage performance. Our plays are open to anyone who is willing to audition and we encourage /oiks from all around our area to join our cast and crew.
