Engaging in performing arts offers members of the community a chance to deal most directly with the human condition; it educates students for future leadership, and it builds empathy-- something that our world needs more now than ever. The mission of Temple Civic Theatre (TCT) is to produce theater of the highest caliber, to enlist regional talent through open auditions, to educate youth and adults in all aspects of theater, and to provide opportunities for and encourage participation by volunteers, thus enriching the artistic and cultural base of the communities of Central Texas. TCT provides outstandingly produced live performances through plays, musicals, and classes for adults and youth in the Temple area.
