The Masquers Celebrates 86 Seasons
Beginning in 1987 we became one of the charter Arts Partners for the newly renovated Capitol Civic Centre in downtown Manitowoc and have called this beautiful theatre our home performance venue for over 25 years.
The Masquers, Inc. has been a leader in the Manitowoc arts community since 1931. A non-profit organization, we lay claim to the title of one of Wisconsin's Oldest Community Theater Groups. Throughout our history we have produced at least two shows every season for the last 85 years. Our latest offering includes Company, Arsenic and Old Lace, and The Great Gatsby.
In 1944 The Masquers purchased the original coach house for the Rahr
Mansion, now the Rahr-West Museum. The Coach House has been our home
for auditions, rehearsals, costumes, set pieces and club meetings ever
since. Beginning 1987 we became one of the charter Arts Partners for
the newly renovated Capitol Civic Centre in downtown Manitowoc and have
called this beautiful theatre our home performance venue for over 25 years.

We have been fortunate to have long-standing supporters of our Sponsor program (some for more than 50 years), but we're always looking for new supporters. In addition to Sponsors, who get the best seats, we also need Season Tickets supporters to guarantee the success of each new season.
