The Manistee Civic Players (MCP) were originally organized in 1939 and produced several plays through 1941. They were dormant until 1952 when they presented "The Petrified Forest" during the 1952 off-season of the Manistee Drama Festival summer stock program. The MCP produced its first musical, "Guys & Dolls" in 1963. In 1964 it was decided to end the summer stock program that used outside professional talent and to start a year-round season of locally produced shows including musicals. The Manistee Civic Players absorbed the Manistee Drama Festival into their organization.
In 1974 the MCP leased the theatre portion of the building from the City and currently leases an office in the building. The MCP is continuing its 47 year history of producing shows involving the community at large while supporting the restoration of the Ramsdell Theatre building. It has presented over 200 stage productions including more than 50 musical shows.
2009 Performances are in March, June & July, August, October and December. Check this site's calendar of events to see which plays are to be performed. To purchase tickets call the Box Office of the Manistee Civic Players at (231) 723-9948.
