Center Stage Jackson is ready to embark on our tenth year of cultivating, advancing and promoting the appreciation of dramatic arts throughout the community by presenting amateur theatrical productions. As an amateur company, it is the love of theatre that sustains us.

Over the course of this season, you will be hearing a lot about what has made Center Stage Jackson, and historically, Clark Lake Players and Jackson Civic Theater, a vibrant and essential part of the Jackson Arts community.

Over the last ten seasons, we have had the good fortune of growing our audience. But the revenue of our ticket sales is not enough to sustain us. In addition to ticket sales, our dedicated staff and volunteers have raised funds through grants – making it possible to offer such programs as the Reader’s Theater. And even then, it is our membership that ensures we are able to maintain our operations.

This is the season to help grow the Center Stage garden, whether you've been thinking about becoming a member or even if you're already a member – because:

“Community Theatre occupies a peculiarly important position in the American theater picture.... It engages more people in theatrical activity, albeit part-time, than all the rest of the American theatre put together, including schools and colleges.”
