History

Brookings Community Theatre was unofficially formed in 2001 by a small group of theater enthusiasts with their first stage show produced in 2002. Since then BCT has developed into a non-profit organization that is known for the quality of its shows.
In 2010 BCT became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. BCT operates on donations from local private and corporate sponsors. All donations are tax-deductible. DONATE TODAY!

Purpose

Brookings Community Theatre's mission is to enrich Brookings and surrounding communities by providing theatrical entertainment, as well as offering educational and performance opportunities for people of all ages.

We strive to provide three main stage shows per year.

BCT Season

Volunteers of the Year
Donna Gebur

We are pleased to announce Donna Gebur as our 24th season Volunteer of the Year! You’ll recognize Donna because she works most of our productions in the front of the house. Not only does she take tickets, she also helps with the bake sale, silent auction tables, door prize table, or anywhere else she may be needed. Donna began volunteering with BCT about four years ago. She had attended a couple of productions when she was asked to help in front of house.  And so it began! Donna was in a play as a senior in high school but doubts she’ll ever walk the stage again.
Donna came to Brookings in 1980 to attend SDSU. She’s from the small community of Lily, SD. Coming from a farming family she knows about hard work. Donna has three brothers and four sisters. While earning her degree in botany she began working at Medary Acres Greenhouses.  She stayed at Medary Acres for 21 seasons and has lately returned there to work part-time. She also works part-time at SGS in the mixed species department. This means she spends her days counting microscopic seeds.
When not working one of her jobs Donna enjoys plants of any kind (big surprise!), reading, and interaction with any kind of animal. In the summer, her balcony is covered with plants. As anyone who grows plants knows, this is the time of year you have to make room inside to save your favorites!’
When asked what her favorite play with BCT has been, she said ‘Charlie Cox Runs with Scissors’. Her definition of a successful play is one that is interesting and easy to understand. Donna enjoys comedies the most. “Life in general is hard so we need comic relief.”
Thanks Donna for all of your help over these last four seasons!
