September 26 – October 4, 2026 | Youth - Circle Theatre - History Comedy

History has never been so fun...  or so fast!  Flying through the major points of America’s quest for independence, this fast-and-loose comedy plays like a highlight reel of history in hilarious fashion!  From the Boston Tea Party to the Battle of Bunker Hill (Did you know it was really Breed Hill?!) to the crossing of the Delaware and onward to the British surrender at Yorktown, the historical meets the hysterical in this one act delight!

SEE ROCK CITY

November 6 – November 22, 2026 | Circle Theatre - Drama

Picking up a year after the ending of Arlene Hutton's critically acclaimed Last Train to Nibroc, this tender and funny sequel follows May and Raleigh through the end of World War II and introduces the characters of their two mothers-in-law. A medical condition keeps Raleigh from military service, and he is forced to sit idly on the porch, watching the cars drive by, as May supports them both as a high-school principal. Faced with daily rejection letters for his writing, constant criticism from his mother and taunts of cowardice from townspeople, Raleigh fights to find meaning in his new life. When tragedy strikes the family and May loses her job to returning soldiers, she discovers she must make an unimaginable sacrifice to save her relationship with Raleigh. This tender portrayal of married life, set against the backdrop of World War II, shows the best of the human spirit and its ability to overcome any and all obstacles. The second play of a trilogy, and the recipient of the MacLean Foundation's “In the Spirit of America” Award, SEE ROCK CITY stands alone as a very funny, touching and universal portrayal of a young couple very much in love.

  • "The Theatre Centre has had a profound positive impact on my family. These past 17 years have seen my daughter, Annie, grow up in the Youth Theatre, my wife, Jackie, painting a set piece or two, and allowed me some time on the stage as well. We would not be the family we are without the CTC."

    Mitch Collins

  • "I am overjoyed with my first theatre experience and so happy it was with the CTC. I became a sponge and realized how much work everyone puts into every production, I’ve learned that theatre is a team sport just like basketball or football. There are no small parts, there is no one who isn’t needed. The cast and crew really taught me why I should appreciate live theatre, and the effort that every person in the show, both on stage and off stage, puts into it. Thanks CTC for sharing your talents and knowledge. I am forever grateful!"

    Kimberly Reynolds

  • "The Theatre Centre is more than a building and a stage and actors and crew. It’s more than a venue. It’s a home and a haven and a family. It’s the frame that holds the masterpieces of Chattanooga’s community: its most talented, creative, and passionate members."

    Greer Caldwell

  • "Thinking of CTC volunteers as amateurs might sound negative, but “amateur” comes from the word for love. The CTC is a community of amateurs who love creating art together. Audiences are surprised that we’re volunteers because of the professional quality of our work. Since 2001, I have volunteered on stage, back stage, behind a piano or in the lobby. The CTC is like Oz: there’s no place like the artistic home I’ve found there."

    John Echols

  • "In THE WIZ, Dorothy sings, 'When I think of home, I think of a place where there’s love overflowing,' and that has been my experience -- I’ve been very much at home here. I always have that little magical something inside me when I come to this building. Thank you, Theatre Centre, for giving me this opportunity to give back to my community through the arts."
