A New Dawn
Great theatre is about moments you cannot replay. The laugh that catches you off guard. The silence before the reveal. The applause that starts before you even realize you are on your feet. This season, Waco Civic Theatre brings together beloved titles and unforgettable stories in one extraordinary year.
With a Season Membership, you are not just attending productions. You are part of the energy, the anticipation, and the beginning of something worth sharing.
Upcoming Shows & Events
Kiss Me, Kate
Broadway meets the Bard in Kiss Me, Kate — the Tony Award-winning masterpiece where Shakespearean comedy, backstage drama, and showbiz chaos explode into musical magic.
When a feuding divorced couple is forced to play opposite each other in a musical version of The Taming of the Shrew, the result is pure theatrical fireworks. Tempers ignite, passions flare, and the line between performance and reality disappears in a whirl of wit, romance, and perfectly timed disaster.
Armed with Cole Porter’s legendary score — including “Too Darn Hot,” “Brush Up Your Shakespeare,” and “So in Love” — Kiss Me, Kate delivers the full Broadway experience: dazzling choreography, knockout vocals, and the timeless thrill of live theatre at its boldest.
Critics call it “a musical comedy masterpiece” and “a love letter to everything that makes theatre irresistible.”
Soulful Black Wall Street
Where history sings and legacy lives on…
Soulful Black Wall Street is a powerful, music-driven production honoring the rise, resilience, and legacy of Tulsa’s historic Greenwood District, once known as Black Wall Street.
Written and produced by Kay Frances Bell, this original musical blends gospel, jazz, and soul to tell a story of brilliance, community, and perseverance in the face of unimaginable loss. More than a performance, it is a tribute to a thriving community and a reminder of the strength it took to rebuild and remember.
Mean Girls: The Musical
Grease for the 21st Century!
Mean Girls is what happens when Tina Fey takes the high school social order, puts it under a microscope, and then hands it a microphone.
As part of our Summer School Season, this is a story about reinvention with killer songs and really good hair. It is about the strange, ridiculous, occasionally brutal world of trying to belong, and what it costs when fitting in starts to matter more than telling the truth.
Cady Heron has spent her life far from the American teenage ecosystem. Then she lands in public high school and meets The Plastics, three girls who rule the building with the discipline of a political machine and the mercy of a shark. What starts as a game turns into something riskier when Cady realizes it is a lot easier to become part of the system than it is to beat it.
NOTE: THESE PERFORMANCES WILL BE AT WACO HIGH SCHOOL.
Located at 2020 N 42nd St Waco,TX.
