The Muncie Civic Theatre Programs includes programs from the plays presented by the Muncie Civic Theatre from its inception in 1931 through 1986, with additional programs from 1996 and 2005. The Muncie Civic Theatre (originally known as the Muncie Civic Theater) was founded in May 1931. It was funded by William H. Ball, a second generation member of the Ball Family and an avid theater supporter. Their first play, Dulcy, premiered on December 15, 1931 at the Masonic Temple Auditorium. In 1961, the Muncie Civic Theatre moved to the Hoosier Theater (also known as the Star Theater), where they continue to perform award-winning musicals, dramas and seasonal entertainment. This online collection is part of the Muncie Civic Theatre Records collection in Archives and Special Collections. The online collection will continue to grow as more items become available for digitization.
