Celebrating our 25th Year of Performances

Showboat Community Theatre

Notes from Mary — January 2008

Hermann has had community theatre as long as I can remember—we saw plays at the schools, musical shows at the city park Rotunda, programs at local churches, and we all went to movies (“the show”) at the Hermo theatre on 4th street.

Then in 1984, local community theatre gained a home of its own when First Bank donated the former Hermo theatre building to Historic Hermann for the purpose of hosting community theatre productions.

Mimi Schmidt was noted as saying, “This is a dream come true for those of us who have had to perform all over town without a community auditorium.”  Mimi, it was also great for those of us who had been sitting on all kinds of hard seats and trying to listen with all kinds of outside interference!

Now, in 2008, welcome to the new Web site for Hermann’s Showboat Community Theatre. Please look around, and let us know if you can’t find what you need. Use our e-mail, give us a phone call, or you can always catch one of the Showboat Board members on the street to ask what’s new!

If you’d like to join the fun, whether you sing, dance, act, paint, hammer, sew, or like to work with the lights or sound, make popcorn, design programs or usher, we’d love to have you join the Showboat Theatre crew. Give us a call!

Mother’s Day Show has new twist, new Sunday

There’s something new about this year’s Mother’s Day Show, the 25th annual fundraiser for the Showboat Theatre. It’s not on Mother’s Day, and it is a new show.

Responding to requests from patrons and performers that many wanted to spend Mother’s Day with their families, the Showboat Theatre has moved the benefit performance to Sunday, May 4, at 2:00 p.m.

And this year’s performance will be presented by the Missouri Senior Cameo Club, former Queens’ Association, who will present a 90-minute variety show. Please see the Calendar for more information about this amazing group.
