The Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company is one of the largest regional
theater companies in the state, drawing talent from several Nevada and Northern
California cities. Most of their larger productions are featured at the Carson
City Community Center, an 800 seat proscenium theater located in the heart of
the state capitol. This critically acclaimed company draws tour buses and
season ticket holders from all over the states of Nevada and California,
attracting as many as 6,000 people to one of their productions.
The success of the company has led to the development of a comprehensive musical
theatre program at Western Nevada College, culminating in an associate of arts
degree in musical theatre. Students in the program enroll in coursework to
develop skills in acting, singing, dancing and technical theatre. These
apprentice actors participate in the productions along with seasoned
performers.
The company presents three productions a year, offering economical ticket prices
as well as discounted season passes.
