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.

Songs For A New World

A single moment can change everything. In Songs for a New World, Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown weaves a breathtaking tapestry of stories, emotions, and possibilities, capturing the essence of what it means to stand at the precipice of change. Through a dynamic collection of songs, this contemporary musical explores life’s defining choices—from love and loss to hope and resilience. With a powerful blend of pop, jazz, and gospel influences, each number introduces a new character facing a moment of transformation, where past and future collide in the unknown. With its soaring melodies and deeply human storytelling, Songs for a New World is more than a musical—it’s an experience that reminds us of the endless potential in every new beginning. Step into the magic of theatre, where every note holds the power to move, inspire, and redefine what’s possible.

Filled with dazzling energy, unforgettable songs, and the unmistakable sparkle of Dolly’s humor and heart, 9 to 5: The Musical celebrates the dreamers, the doers, and everyone who’s ever dared to rewrite the rules. Waco’s own Holly Tucker steps into Dolly Parton’s high heels as Doralee Rhodes — and she’s every bit as unforgettable!
