AboutUs

formed from an ad placed in the Minden Courier in May of 1984 by Susan Hoff,
inviting anyone interested in forming a community theater to come forward. The
ad also introduced the name of the first MCP production: Oklahoma. A cast was
selected, and the first performance was on August 1st. The show was a huge
success and we were off to a great start

From that day forward the Minden Community Players have enjoyed bringing
more than forty major musical and theatrical productions to local stages.

Our organization is a non-profit corporation governed by an all-volunteer board of
directors. We constantly strive to provide high quality entertainment at a
reasonable cost. To aid in this effort, we solicit the support of many patrons who
champion our efforts with donations of money, materials, and equipment. Their
help enables us, in turn, to supply equipment and support, as needed, for school
productions and community events. Another result of community support and
hard work is our scholarship program that touches graduating seniors with an
interest in the arts.

Many of our members are also members of almost every church and
civic-minded organization in the area. Out talent pool spans all ages, professions,
and economic classes. If we count all the production, construction, instrumental,
lighting, audio, advertising, and other volunteers, the Minden Community Players
have tapped the efforts of thousands of people.

Our productions are presented on the Minden Opera House stage in Minden,
Nebraska. The beautiful artwork and historical ambience given is an exceptional
place for MCP to perform.

We encourage everyone to become a memorable part of this time in the life of
Minden. As always. we invite anyone who is interested in being a part of our family
to contact us any time during the year. We actively seek new talents and new
blood. We have something for everyone: singing, acting, and support staffing.
Financial contributions are always appreciated, and perhaps you could even
produce or direct your favorite show!

This is how we became who we are today. People just like you thought, "I wish I
could....." and later were able to say, "I DID."
