Dear Friends of the Arts,

​

Thanks to our wonderful community, 2024 was a year that we will remember for years to come. Front and Centre Productions, Inc. is moving forward into 2025 with another year of IGNITE Youth Theatre & CHARACTERS!, ILLUSIONS Dance Studio, INSPIRE Community Theatre, ILLUMINATE Music, and IMAGINE Arts & Crafts. We are going to be coming up on year seven of being at the Creative Arts Center in Osceola Mills and have continued working to better the space. 

​

Front and Centre Productions has continued to show rapid growth in 2024 into 2025, allowing to serve the Moshannon Valley community in new ways:

• IGNITE Youth Theatre returned for another summer with the production of Mean Girls in July that eclipsed over 1,200 for the three show dates! IGNITE will return with Chicago: Teen Edition in the summer of 2025

• CHARACTERS! - A sub-program of IGNITE Youth Theatre debuted during the summer of 2024 with Honk! Jr. With a total cast of approximately 40, this program allowed for ages 4-13 to get more stage time and opportunities to shine! CHARACTERS! will return with Finding Nemo Jr. in the summer of 2025

• INSPIRE Community Theatre continued the College+ program with Heathers the Musical in June! With a cast of 20, Heathers featured many new performers for Front and Centre Productions. INSPIRE will continue in 2025 with two productions in the summer of 2025 - The Last Five Years and Little Women

• ILLUSIONS Dance Studio had approximately 120 dancers filling up over 230 spots during the fall of 2024 and had a very successful Ballet in December. The Dance Team also brought home numerous awards throughout their season and are working on another successful season in 2025! There are currently 118 enrolled in Spring 2025 classes

• ILLUMINATE Music has had approximately 10 piano students and 20 voice students in the fall of 2024. We also welcomed a new voice instructor, Emily Sanker, to the team during the fall

• IMAGINE Arts & Crafts held a kid's summer craft camp in which where were 6 participants! 

Front and Centre Productions, Inc. has also had an array of building projects in 2024:

• New lighting in the costume room

• Electrical work has been updated to keep everyone safe

• Baseboard heaters have been installed in the restrooms

• A new front door has been installed

​

The mission of Front and Centre Productions, Inc. is to present high-quality performing arts experiences for the cultural education, entertainment, and inspiration of the Moshannon Valley communities; to foster and develop artistic talents and skills of all participants; and to encourage public participation of the theatre arts and to develop future audiences and supporters of the arts. 

​

Here at Front and Centre Productions, Inc. we are working diligently to ensure that our location in Osceola Mills is providing a safe space for members of the community to come together and appreciate the arts. Our Executive Board of Directors and Administrative Staff have been brainstorming new ways to cultivate high-quality performing and visual arts experiences for the education, entertainment, and inspiration for the community that we serve.
