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.

WCT Cinderella Auditions
Anyone wishing to audition should prepare a short selection (32 bars) of a song of your choice (preferably from any broadway show) demonstrating your strongest abilities. There will be an accompanist, so bring sheet music with you. Alternatively, there will also be a bluetooth system if you want to sing to a pre-recorded track on you phone. Auditionees will be asked to read from the script and will also learn some basic choreography.
