Community Circle Theatre

1607 Robinson Road SE Grand Rapids, MI 49503 www.circletheatre.org

The theatre's most recent success comes from a belief in strong community partnerships. Circle Theatre began discussions in 1999 with Aquinas College, a small, private, Grand Rapids liberal arts college, to collaborate in building a new performing arts center. The two organizations, later joined by the Grand Rapids Catholic Secondary Schools, raised 6.2 million dollars in a capital campaign to build the new facility. Opened in July of 2003, the 418 seat thrust theatre is now home to all three organizations. Located on the Aquinas College campus, the theatre is managed by the Circle Theatre professional staff. The college's physical plant maintains the facility and expenses are shared by the partners of this unique collaboration.

Circle Theatre continues to produce a season of main stage and Magic Circle productions during the summer months of May through September. The rest of the calendar year is focused on the academic theatre programs of Aquinas College and the Catholic high schools.
