Theatre 7

As an all volunteer community theatre group, Theatre 7 welcomes anyone interested in becoming involved. There are lots of opportunities in Theatre 7, both performing onstage and working backstage. Theatre 7 is fortunate enough to have a headquarters building located at 131 N. Water Street in downtown Decatur where we build sets, create costumes, store props, and rehearse. If you have never visited our building, we invite you to stop by sometime.
