Creating Excellent
COMMUNITY THEATRE
In 1950, the Cloak family on North Union Street in Appleton, Wisconsin, founded Attic Theatre in their attic. What started as a simple acting class has evolved into the longest-running community theater in the Fox Valley. In its early days, Attic performed in various locations, including Jefferson School and local church basements. When Lawrence University opened the Music-Drama Center, Attic formed a long-standing partnership with LU, utilizing both theaters during the summer. Over the years, our most recent venue, the beautiful Communication Arts Center at the UWO-Fox Cities Campus, has enabled us to produce a diverse range of plays with wider audience appeal. Sadly, the UW Oshkosh-Fox Cities Campus will close in June 2025, meaning Attic Theatre will lose these wonderful performance spaces. We’ve embraced this challenge and are excited to announce a new partnership with businesses across the Fox Valley for our 75th season!
“Community Theatre occupies a peculiarly important position in the American theater picture.... It engages more people in theatrical activity, albeit part-time, than all the rest of the American theatre put together, including schools and colleges.”
