Community theater paves its way to success

“BrickStreet Theatre is a surprisingly good theater,” according to one audience member. This double-edged remark became the motto of Forest City’s community theater that provides local adults and children the opportunity to feed their hunger for performance.

The theater produces four shows a year, working nearly year-round. Each summer, the theater partners with Forest City Parks and Recreation to produce one play and one musical for children, and the board is considering creating a similar program targeted at middle schoolers.
