Show selection has been set

Jay County Civic Theatre approved its show selection committee’s recommendations for its three-year show plan during Thursday’s meeting.

The show selection committee’s plan lays out JCCT’s schedule through December 2028. Shows planned for the remainder of its 2025-26 season are Legally Blonde this month, Annie in December and 1776 in June 2026. (The 2026-27 season schedule will be announced in January.)

While future shows cannot be announced until rights are secured, part of the show selection committee’s plan is to make the Christmas 2028 production an audience choice. A public poll to select that show will be posted during the first half of 2027.

The board also:

•Announced its lineup of directors for 2027, which will be its 50th anniversary. Set to direct shows as part of the celebration year are Jennifer McGraw, Jason McGraw, Bev Wolford, Greg Ashley and Ray Cooney.

•Heard updates that JCCT’s finance committee will meet Thursday, Sept. 11, and its education and youth committee will meet Sunday, Sept. 14. Both will present reports to the board at its October meeting.

•Discussed additional ways to promote Jay County Civic Theatre through its website and social media.

•Decided against moving forward with a proposed bylaw change that would have allowed for proxy voting at its annual meeting.

The next Jay County Civic Theatre regular board meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8, in the board room at Arts Place.

The next Jay County Civic Theatre production is “Legally Blonde” on Sept. 25, 26, 27 and 28.
