Are you brave enough to venture to the light over at the Frankenstein Place? Join us for a fabulous night out in downtown Anderson before you catch the cult classic, The Rocky Horror Show, at the Market Theatre! With an array of vibrant spots nearby, you can make the most of your evening with great food, drinks, and unforgettable experiences.
In the heart of Anderson, where creativity thrives, we are gearing up for a night like no other - the 10th annual 24 Hour Musical! This year, Market Theatre has chosen to support the South Main Chapel & Mercy Center, a beacon of hope and support for our community. The Chapel and Mercy Center provides outreach and support services to persons who are economically disadvantaged and to many who are houselessness. Check out below how the non-profit is changing the city's landscape with Elizabeth Hiott (Ministry Associate/Care Manager and Ride to Work Program Director).
Market Theatre owes its success to the thriving community that we have built over the past eight years. Our community participates in shows and attends performance with great enthusiasm and support, making our work possible! But how did a young theatre manage to create such a community? We sat down with some of the Jersey Boys cast and crew to learn more about their thoughts on Market Theatre and why they continue to be a part of this family.
Embarking on a theatrical journey during the summer months is an exhilarating opportunity for young performers to cultivate their skills, forge lasting friendships, and immerse themselves in the magic of the stage. As parents and participants seek the ideal theatre summer camp, certain elements emerge as crucial for creating an unforgettable and enriching experience.
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons is the greatest band the media wasn’t writing about. This presents a unique problem for a dramaturg when looking for research, inspiration, and articles from the time. But who were The Four Seasons? Where did they come from? How did a group of “Jersey Boys” have such a massive career?
“From the surprise early-2000s opening to the sweeping tunes of the '60s, I wanted to create lived-in performances and steps that evoked the style of one of the major vocal groups of the modern era. I took inspiration from many of the real-life Four Seasons performances and incorporated some more modern influences.”
Market Theatre is thrilled about our 2024 season, and we're hitting the ground running. This January, we begin rehearsals for three of our shows! From educational programming and free shows in the park, to celebrated musicals and cult favorites, we have something for everyone in our community. Find out more about this season's directors leading the way.
