It seems that Topeka has a pretty good civic theater. At least that is what New York thinks. And that is quite a compliment for the only continuously running community theater in the country.
“ We have an amazing theater here in Topeka ,” said Shannon Reilly, Artistic Director for the Topeka Theatre & Academy. “Topeka is a fantastic city and there are many cities who would die to have a theater and a community like ours.”
Since 1936, Topeka Civic Theatre has operated in Topeka, now at its new theater at 3028 SW 8th Avenue.
Reilly first came to TCTA in 1990 as a guest director from Kansas City to direct Wait Until Dark. He returned the following year to direct The Night Hank Williams Died and was asked to join the staff as Associate Artistic Director in September of 1992. Shannon was named Artistic Director in December of 1993 and has directed well over 50 productions for the Topeka Civic Theatre.
“Our seventy second season is getting started. We have some amazing shows this year. Our season is very literary this year, starting with Misery.”
Misery was written by Stephen King and according to Reilly, the adaptation is even scarier than the well known movie. It will run October 19 through November 3rd.
