🎭 Meet the Crew! 🎭
A great show takes so much more than what happens on stage! Our incredible youth crew has been working hard behind the scenes to make this production come to life.
💡 Lights & Sound — They have learned the equipment, put in the practice, and are now running the lights and sound for the show.
🎬 Stage Crew — They are responsible for set changes, moving pieces on and off stage, and making sure everything is ready for the next scene.
🎭 Props — They have gathered, organized, and prepared all the props needed to bring these stories to life.
👗 Costumes — Our costumers have put in long hours turning our actors into the amazing characters you see on stage.
💄 Hair & Makeup — They add those final touches that help transform our cast and bring each character to life.

None of this happens without a hardworking crew behind the scenes. We are incredibly proud of how much these young people have learned, how much responsibility they've taken on, and how much work they have put into this production.
The audience sees the show. Our crew makes the show happen!

Now come out and see their talent.

🎭 Now, let’s meet the directors and producers behind our HCT Youth Board production! 🎭

These young leaders have put in SO much time, effort, and dedication to get these shows ready for the stage. From casting, planning and rehearsals to budgets, ordering stuff, making the bios, collecting paperwork and cleaning. They have had to make countless decisions, solve problems, communicate, and compromise to bring these productions to life. And they have done a great job!

We are incredibly proud of the leadership, responsibility, creativity, and work they have shown throughout this process.

Please help us give a BIG thank-you to the directors and producers who have worked so hard to make this production happen!

At HCCF we believe the arts should be accessible to everyone in our community. That’s why we are excited to award a $13,500 Stronger Together Grant to our friends at Hendricks Civic Theatre (HCT)!

Since 1981, HCT has brought live plays and musicals to audiences across the county, giving many people their very first theatre experience. This grant funding will be used to install new ADA-accessible seating at their historic Longstreet Playhouse in Danville. This will help ensure that everyone—regardless of physical ability—can comfortably experience the magic of local theatre.

We are proud to partner with non-profits like HCT that work every day to build a welcoming and vibrant community.

Thank you, Hendricks Civic Theatre, for your 40+ years of dedication to the arts and for making space for everyone in Hendricks County!
