Historical Note

The Muncie Civic Theatre (originally spelled "theater") was founded in March 1931. It was fundedby William H. Ball, a second generation member of the Ball Family and an avid theatre supporter.Philip W. McCabee served as the first director for theatre productions from 1931-1934. Their first play,Dulcy, premiered on December 15, 1931 at the Masonic Temple Auditorium. The Muncie Civic Theatrecontinued to gain community involvement and support and put on performances without interruption until1943.

During World War II, the Muncie Civic Theatre temporarily ceased formal productions from 1943-1945.However, supporters of the theatre continued to perform radio dramas Friday nights on WLBC. Formalperformances resumed in 1946 with a performance of Laura, directed by Horace Burr, starring BenJanney, Howard Miller, and Ann Crapo. The Muncie Civic Theatre has operated continuously since thattime.

Early Muncie Civic Theatre plays were held in the Masonic Temple Auditorium. In 1961, the groupinitiated plans to move it's productions into its own building. The Wysor Grand Theatre on East JacksonSt., the Liberty Theatre on South Walnut and the Hoosier Theatre on East Main Street were consideredas possible sites. The group finally decided on the Hoosier Theatre, which had opened as the Star Theatrein 1904 showcasing vaudeville performances six days a week. The Hoosier had closed its doors in 1954and was vacant until its purchase in 1961 by Muncie Civic Theatre. The organization spent $300,000 inrenovating the old theatre, giving it a seating capacity of 460 seats. The musical comedy The PajamaGame was the first performance in the new venue on November 28, 1961.
