The Glema Center offers several ways to be part of the local arts community!
Workshops
The Glema Center sometimes offers arts-related workshops in conjunction with a visiting artist’s main performance. Workshops may be designated for a particular school group, or may be open to the public. These workshops are sometimes added during the season, so check back periodically for updates about programs that may have a workshop.

MCC Singers
The MCC Singers is a community choral ensemble open to singers in high school and up. The group presents two concerts at the Glema Center each year: one during the Christmas season and one during the spring. Rehearsals are Tuesday evenings at 5:30 on the campus of Madisonville Community College. To learn more about joining the MCC Singers, contact Toby Roberts at 270-821-2787 or email Toby.Roberts@kctcs.edu.

New in Fall 2023: MCC Singers Children’s Choir! Auditions for the Treble Choir, which performed at the Christmas Concert, were held in mid-October. Watch for future opportunities such as this!
Community Theatre
The Glema Center presents two community theatre productions each season. The 2023-24 shows are Steel Magnolias (February) and Into the Woods (July). Audition information–including dates and times, character descriptions, age requirements, and audition materials–will be announced on the center’s website and social media pages.

Volunteer
If you are a community-minded individual who would like to volunteer your time as an usher, docent, or clerical worker, call 270-821-2787, email Toby.Roberts@kctcs.edu, or visit the office during regular business hours.
Community arts opportunities vary from season to season and are announced as they are confirmed. The best way to stay informed is to check the website regularly or follow the Glema Center on Facebook or Instagram.
