About Us
The Waupaca Community Theatre began its long association with the Waupaca Fine Arts Festival in 1979 and has been providing large-scale musical theatre productions with a full orchestra to Central Wisconsin for the past 26 years. Cast auditions are held each spring with performances taking place in late July at the Waupaca High School’s Performing Arts Center. We gladly welcome anyone with an interest in assisting with our shows, whether in set construction, art work, costuming, choreography, stage crew, sound, lighting or any other area of production. We also present smaller productions including plays, dinner theatre and special events throughout the year at various locations.

Our show is soon approaching and tickets are going fast, but you still have a chance to pick yours up! Our remaining two cast members for you to meet are a couple of WCT "fan favorites" in recent years, Matthew and Tyler!
Matthew Bonikowske (Manolo): Matthew has been involved with WCT for many years. His first show was "Mame" that started it all... and it has kept him coming back for more over the years! He's really taken to his character Manolo in this show, and he's hoping the audience enjoys it as much as he has! Much love to his husband Roy who supports him in all his endeavors.
AND
Tyler Higginson (Jesus): This is Tyler’s sixth WCT production, having previously been onstage in "The Little Mermaid," "The Drowsy Chaperone," "Little Shop of Horrors," "Hello Dolly," and the 2024 play, "Critics' Choice." Most recently he was a part of the Waupaca Fine Arts Festival's "Twelve Days of Christmas Cabaret." He is also a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church’s Senior choir in Waupaca.

We have a few more members of our Odd Couple cast for you to meet! 🎭
Sherry Weise (Vera): Sherry moved to Waupaca about 29 years ago and was delighted to find a community so passionate about theater and the arts. Her previous WCT performances include the chorus for "Annie Warbucks" and "The Kids Left. The Dog Died. Now What?" Sherry is thrilled to be part of this production and thanks her family and the directors for their support. She loves being part of the theater family.
AND
Elaine Muller (Mickey): Elaine is thrilled to be making her Waupaca Community Theatre debut in this comedy. Her love of theatre began during her school years and has continued into her adult life through local community productions, including "Nobody Will Hear You Scream", "Drinking Habits", and "Dad’s Christmas Miracle." Her favorite roles to date were in "Four Old Broads" and "Four Old Broads: On the High Seas." She is grateful to the directors for their guidance, the cast and crew for their dedication, and the audience for joining us and sharing a few laughs. She thanks her family and friends for their constant support and for continuing to pretend this is "just a hobby."
