HISTORY

The Clearview Community Theatre was formed in the summer of 1996 by a group of adults intent on producing a musical version of Scrooge for a cast of young people. Since then we have produced ten shows in the community hall in Duntroon, two shows in the community hall in Avening, one show in Tollendale Village in Barrie and a series of smaller shows in the Small Hall in Stayner.

We have also performed for many service clubs and in many nursing homes and seniors complexes. We have provided equipment and technical advice for many events and for several local schools.

As of January 2009, we have provided a meaningful theatrical experience for many people. At the time of their first memberships with us we have had: 53 members aged 8-12, 57 members aged 13-18, and 48 members over the age of 18. As well, over 120 people have worked on our Production Crews.
