🎤✨ If you can hear the joke, see the expression, and feel the moment—it is because someone made that happen.

Lighting and sound are vital to live theatre. They help audiences follow the action, hear every line, experience the mood of a scene, and fully connect with the performers on stage. Maintaining and replacing microphones, batteries, cables, lighting instruments, bulbs, boards, software, and other equipment is an ongoing expense for a community theatre.

These tools do more than support a performance. They help create a quality experience for every patron and give local artists the opportunity to learn valuable technical skills.

Your gift helps BackAlley Community Theatre keep the spotlight on local creativity.

🪚🧵 A cardboard wall becomes a castle. Fabric becomes a character. A simple prop becomes a punchline.

The creativity of community theatre comes alive through sets, costumes, and props—but those transformations require materials.

Lumber, paint, hardware, fabric, wigs, makeup, tools, storage, furniture, and specialty props all add up quickly.

Our volunteers stretch every dollar, repurpose what they can, and pour imagination into every detail. Still, supplies have a cost.

A donation to BackAlley Community Theatre helps our creative teams build worlds that spark laughter, wonder, memories, and meaningful conversations.

Your support makes it possible for local talent to create something extraordinary from everyday materials.

📜 Every great production begins with permission to tell the story.

Community theatres must purchase the legal rights to perform many plays and musicals.

Those costs can include performance royalties, script rentals or purchases, music rental, and other licensing requirements.

These expenses are essential: they honor the work of playwrights, composers, lyricists, and publishers while allowing local performers to bring beloved stories to life for our neighbors.

Your donation helps BackAlley Community Theatre produce shows responsibly and legally—while keeping live theatre accessible right here in our community.

When you give, you support the writers, artists, actors, technicians, and audience members connected through a single story.

💡 The show cannot go on without a place to put it on.

Before an actor delivers the first line or a musician plays the first note, there are real monthly expenses behind every community-theatre production.

Electricity keeps the stage lights glowing. Water, air conditioning, heating, internet, cleaning, repairs, and building upkeep help make our theatre a safe, welcoming space for audiences, artists, students, and volunteers.

When you donate to BackAlley Community Theatre, you are not simply supporting one show. You are helping maintain a gathering place where stories can be told all year long.

A gift of any size helps keep the doors open, the lobby welcoming, and the stage ready for the next big moment.

Rehearsals are underway at BackAlley Community Theatre for its upcoming production of 12 Angry Jurors, a powerful courtroom drama that examines justice, personal bias, responsibility and the importance of reasonable doubt.

Adapted by Sherman L. Sergel from Reginald Rose’s acclaimed drama, 12 Angry Jurors follows a jury tasked with deciding the fate of a young man accused of murder. What initially appears to be a straightforward case becomes an intense and deeply personal deliberation as one juror challenges the group to look more closely at the evidence. As the discussion unfolds, the jurors confront not only the facts of the case, but also their own assumptions, prejudices and personal experiences.

The production is directed by Dawson Weileder, with Amy Hall serving as assistant director.

The cast includes Donna Batten, Steven Lane, Brian McCarty, Faith Cherrier, Monica Stinson, Ashton Rachal, Amy Hall, John Brewer, Chance Robertson, Bob Perry, Sarah Copeland, Paul Sabu and MC Carpenter.

Known for its tense exchanges and thought-provoking questions, 12 Angry Jurors places audiences inside the jury room as twelve ordinary people wrestle with an extraordinary decision. The drama explores how a single voice can prompt a closer examination of the facts—and how the responsibility of deciding another person’s future can bring long-held beliefs and emotions to the surface.

BackAlley Community Theatre invites the community to experience this timeless story brought to life by a talented local cast and creative team. With rehearsals now in progress, audiences can expect an evening of meaningful theater, strong performances and a story that remains relevant because it asks enduring questions about fairness, courage and the duty to seek the truth.

Tickets for 12 Angry Jurors go on sale October 18.
