You can always count on a well-written book or a captivating movie to tell a good story, but there’s something about watching art come to life right in front of you. There are several theatres across Madison County that aim to provide such a magical experience for your entire family. Check out the list!
The ALLEY Theatre
923 Jackson St. Anderson, IN 46016
From the Fall until the Spring, enjoy productions at The ALLEY Theatre’s “hybrid-black-box-proscenium” space! With one production each month (November-March), their aim is to provide quality productions of classic scripts for audiences in Madison County, Indiana.
The Commons Theatre
204 W Church St. Alexandria, IN 46001
Nestled in a completely renovated three-story 1899 church building, The Commons Theatre has been a big part of the community for almost 10 years. The small-town theatre exists to provide opportunities for youth and adults in Madison County through education, events, and performances.
Duck Creek Center for the Arts
202 S Anderson St. Elwood, IN 46036
Live performances and theatrical productions are only a part of what The Duck Creek Center for the Arts is all about. Well underway to becoming a destination location for those with a passion for the arts and quality entertainment, this center will soon be the home to instruction in theater, dancing, music, painting, pottery, sculpture and many other creative arts.
Mainstage Theatre
124 W 9th St. Anderson, IN 46016
It all started in 1959 with a group of 10 members of an adult education speech class who formed the Madison County Dramatic Players. Many decades later and with a permanent home in Mainstage Theatre, this community theatre (one of the oldest, self-supporting ones in the state), presents six performances from March to November.
