Where HillsboroTakes the Stage
A new kind of civic theater is being born here — built and run entirely by volunteers, for everyone who has ever felt the transformative pull of live performance.
Our Vision
Ambitious theater.
Built by volunteers.
Hillsboro Civic Theater is being built from the ground up by volunteers who love the performing arts and believe this community deserves something extraordinary. We're producing large-scale musicals with a full orchestra — the kind of productions that transform a room and leave audiences breathless.
Every performer, musician, and stagehand gives their time freely. This isn't community theater the way you remember it — it's what happens when a community decides to do things right.
“The kind of theater that stops time — and reminds you what it feels like to be alive.”

What We Stand For
Built on Three Promises
Full-Scale Productions
We produce large-scale musicals with full live orchestras. No half-measures. No corner-cutting. Every production earns its place on stage.
Volunteer Powered
Every person on stage, in the pit, and behind the curtain is a volunteer. From the orchestra to the box office, HCT is built and run by neighbors who give their time because they believe this city deserves it.
Open to Everyone
Whether you're a seasoned performer, a first-time audience member, or someone who just wants to help build something beautiful — there's a place for you here.
We're Just Getting Started
Be part of something
Hillsboro will remember.
We are actively building our founding community — performers, musicians, designers, builders, donors, and dreamers. The curtain hasn't risen yet. But it will. And we want you in the room when it does.
