About me:
The Cedar Rapids Community Theatre
1954 - Grand Opening of the Community Theatres first permanent home The Strand Theatre. In 1955, the 221 seat Old Strand Theatre, a 1912 vintage movie house originally named The Olympic, became the permanent home of The Footlighters, now renamed The Cedar Rapids Community Theatre (CRCT). Many shows could be successfully produced that were impossible under the previous limitations.
Over the next 20 years, CRCT flourished under Tescher's direction. Major musicals became part of the seasons. Shows toured to smaller communities, and productions were entered in the Iowa Community Theatre Association festivals. In 1968, the addition of air conditioning to the building allowed for an expanded production calendar. Season ticket prices grew from $6 in 1955 to a whopping $17 in 1976.
In 1977, Mick Denniston was hired as executive director and was joining Technical Director Doug Anderson. CRCT experienced explosive growth in both ticket sales and programming. An educational outreach program was launched, youth programming was increased, and the size of the staff was expanded.
Theatre Cedar Rapids
In 1981, Richard Barker became Artistic director and was at the helm when the theatre moved to its current location. Thanks to the generosity of the David and Audrey Linge family and a multi-million dollar capital campaign, the theatre is at home in an elegant 500 seat theatre in downtown Cedar Rapids.
Nearly 30,000 patrons attend TCR in the course of an 8-show mainstage season. With a professional staff of 12, a volunteer base of more than 900, and a Youtheatre education program serving nearly 300 youth, Theatre Cedar Rapids has evolved to become one of the twenty largest community theatres in the country.
