San Antonio’s Community Theatre
About Us
Wonder Theatre is a nonprofit, live performance theatre engaging the San Antonio community with musical productions and educational programming year-round since 2012. We are devoted to creating opportunities for our surrounding community by providing quality, entertaining, educational, and affordable programming for all ages, year-round. Our mission is to grow and sustain performing arts and education in San Antonio.
Every calendar year, we produce six Mainstage musical shows. Wonder Theatre productions feature well-known traditional musicals like Anything Goes and Hello, Dolly! to popular contemporary productions such as In The Heights and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, to adult-oriented musicals like Avenue Q and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Our goal is to bring to the stage diverse musical theatre offerings for a diverse audience.
Our Venue
The theatre is located at the Wonderland of the Americas and is an intimate setting with a beautiful lobby and full-serve concession. The theatre holds 234 floor seats. Free parking is available at the Wonderland of the Americas.
Performers
We hold open auditions for every production for San Antonio area performing artists. We post audition information, once it becomes available, on our Auditions page. Everyone is welcome to audition per each production’s auditions specifications. Each performer, over the age of 18, receives a small stipend for their work.
Wonder Theatre has a live orchesta for each production. Musicians are chosen based on the production’s Musical Director needs.
Awards
We’re not ones to toot our own horn, but we are the humbled recipients of numerous Alamo Theatre Arts Council Globe Awards for Direction, Lead Actor/Actress, Supporting Actor/Actress, Sound Design, Scene Design, Choreography, Music Direction, and People’s Choice Award. Wonder Theatre has been voted “Best Community Theatre” via The San Antonio Current in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
