Loveland Stage Company

In 1979 a group of eleven people, interested in live theater, gathered at the home of Pat Furterer and after introductions and discussions, we began forming what is now known as The Loveland Stage Company.  Several months were spent drawing up by-laws and creating a constitution for the group.  Next came the task of obtaining a tax free status.  Newspaper articles and word-of-mouth brought a great deal of interest to the newly formed community theater organization.  A local businessman lent money to the group for their first production in the Fall of 1979.  The production was a great success, initial funds were paid back and a small profit was realized. Over the years we have encouraged, nurtured, and worked with people to extend their talents into every area of live theater.  We have held workshops in several areas and performed for many groups in the area, including Nursing Homes, Senior Citizens Centers, etc.  Many of our members assist with local school productions (working along with students), lending costumes, sets, lighting, etc.  Since the 1991-2 season we have offered a "Creative Arts Scholarship" to assist a graduating senior in the Loveland School District. Members of the Loveland Stage Company come from every walk of life - Professionals, labors groups, school teachers., artists, construction, mothers, fathers (lots of husband and wife combinations) architects, engineers and many more.  We have NO stars in our group, all performers are friends working together to present the best community theater we know how!
