From acting workshops to musical theater performances, we have options that suit all walks of life and are open to both members and non members. The JCC cultivates a community of actors who support each other’s personal and creative growth. The JCC is producing a musical this fall just for students ages 8–18 years old, as well as a fall play exclusively for ages 18 and up. In the spring, everyone comes together for a full-scale musical for all ages. Students who are 8, 9, or 10 years old who want to participate in the spring musical must have participated in a theater class in fall 2025, attended theater summer camp 2025, or have participated in the fall musical.

Luck be a lady! Come join us as we tell the story about the lives of gamblers and missionaries in a sin-filled New York City. Fee includes 2 free tickets to the final production and a show t-shirt. To participate in the Spring Musical, students ages 8–10 must have taken part in a Fall 2025 theater class, Summer Camp 2025, or participated in the Fall Musical.

A Play by Mandy Conner
When the 1935 Dust Bowl batters the Texas Panhandle with drought, dirt, and devastation, the Loftin family is hit especially hard. Matriarch Edith already works a night job at the post office to help feed the household of ten, while her husband struggles to run their farm with an injured leg and an oldest son whose behavior grows increasingly erratic. Once the dust storms hit, not only do the Loftins suffer a devastating loss among their own, they also face the loss of their farm. Though Edith is sent reeling, she must find a way to move forward somehow. But where is hope to be found? A moment in American history sets the stage for this personal, immediate drama about finding purpose amid overwhelming disaster.
