“The Show Must Go On” … and it has for nearly 60 years at the Hastings Community Theatre. Over those years, HCT has made audiences laugh, cry, sing, smile, and think.
The theatre takes pride in being a valued part of the community. During the early years, performances were any place that had a stage or a space where a stage could be created. In 1979, arrangements were made with Good Samaritan Village for the theatre to have use of the old Spencer Park School. In February of 1981, HCT presented the first show in the new theatre and since then has presented hundreds of shows, providing local audiences with the best live theatre in the area.
“The Hastings Community Foundation has played a role in HCT’s success. Grant funding has assisted us with projects such as lighting and sound improvements, restroom renovations, printing projects, and children’s programming, including HCT Kids’ production of “The Little Mermaid”. HCT has also set up an endowment account through the Hastings Community Foundation. The endowment fund will become invaluable in years to come, assisting us with funds to perpetuate operation of the theatre.
“Thank you, Hastings Community Foundation for helping us insure that ‘The Show Will Go On’ for many years to come!”
