#2 Providing Opportunities

Southern Indiana has some of the most highly-celebrated K-12 arts programs in the country, yet there are very few opportunities for adults in SoIN to continue following their passions.

#3 Offering Entertainment

Theatreworks provides a full season of plays, musicals, & cabarets.  In addition, other groups use the spaces for their own artistic offerings.

#1 Creating a Performance Space

#4 Promoting Arts Ed.

Theatreworks has two spaces available for use by the community for artistic and professional endeavors.  We welcome local theatre groups, companies, community organizations, or private individuals to use the space as well.  FInd out more soon.

Theatreworks will offer a variety of classes (acting, singing, dancing, art, etc.) throughout the year.  We are especially committed to providing opportunities for kids in low-income parts of our community.

Vicki has been the theatre assistant and costumer for Floyd Central High School for the past fifteen plus years. Her love of theatre started with her high school experience at Floyd Central when it first opened. Her involvement with costuming began when her oldest son was a workhouse boy in “Oliver in 1990 and she’s loved it ever since. When the costume/wardrobe manager became available at Floyd Central H.S., Vicki was honored to be asked to take the position. Since her tenure, literally hundreds, if not thousands of costumes have been designed, constructed and added to the F.C. wardrobe collection. She has traveled with Floyd Central to the International Thespian Festival several times and had the honor to help represent Indiana at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. She is also secretary of the Floyd Central Alumni Association, volunteers for her church and has six grandchildren all under the age of two! Needless to say, life is busy for her but theatre is her passion and creative outlet. Vicki commented, “Although my pride and passion is creating wonderful costumes, nothing can compare to watching the young actors faces when they put on those costumes and transform. It is a privilege to be part of such a wonderful program.”
