The Circle Arts Theatre

The Circle Arts Theatre was founded in 1968 by a divorced mother who was taking a massive leap of faith. She had two children with special needs and was quitting her more stable job in nursing to open what was then known as the Community Actors Theatre, which she built in the fairgrounds within an old exhibition hall. Three years later, Elizabeth was approached by the WurstFest Association to host a play for the festival in return for the ability to use a building in Landa Park. She agreed, and since then, the theatre has only grown. Its first full season was in 1972, with the number of plays increasing each new season, and by 1978, it was hosting classes in the performing arts for children. Today, the Circle Arts Theatre has grown into a great New Braunfels spot for a good night of fun performances and engagement through shows of all kinds. The theatre and its troupe have won many awards across different categories and topics and have grown to include touring companies, summer camps, and numerous events!
