Let the Magic Awaken

Our stage shimmers beneath a spell of ice and light — where frozen walls awaken, music breathes life into snow, and courage glows brighter than the northern stars. Here, imagination dances in the frost, love melts what fear conceals, and every flurry carries the promise of something new. This is where stories aren’t just told — they’re set free.

A Magical New Season

Season Membership
For a century,  Waco Civic Theatre has been the dramatic heartbeat of Central Texas. We’ve staged epics, comedies, love stories, and revolutions, all powered by the raw, homegrown brilliance of this community.

Our stage doesn’t just put on plays. It reveals what Central Texans are made of: creativity, collaboration, and the kind of wild ambition that dares to choreograph a full tap number in a few weeks.

Whether you’re ready to command the spotlight or prefer your standing ovations from Row D, joining as a Season Member means you’re not just watching the story unfold—you’re part of how it’s written.  This season, the theatre belongs to you.

Upcoming Shows & Events

Dear Edwina

Step into the delightful world of Dear Edwina, where advice comes with a melody and every life lesson deserves its own spotlight! Filled with catchy songs, clever humor, and heartfelt moments, Dear Edwina celebrates confidence, kindness, and the courage to share your voice. It’s a show that speaks to kids, parents, and anyone who remembers what it feels like to dream big and dance through life’s lessons. Audiences are calling it “pure joy from start to finish” and “a must-see for anyone who’s ever needed a little encouragement.”

Odd Couple: Female Version

Neil Simon’s legendary comedy gets a bold, laugh-out-loud makeover in The Odd Couple: Female Edition! Set in the vibrant 1980s, this fast-paced and irresistibly funny adaptation follows Olive Madison — a free-spirited, messy sportswriter — and Florence Unger — a polished, perfectionist homemaker — as they try to share an apartment without driving each other crazy. Audiences have called it “uproariously funny” and “a masterclass in classic comedy with a modern twist.”

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.”
