A group of Ft. Scott residents is determined to bring back a community theatre to Bourbon County. Last summer, Bourbon County Community Theatre or BCCT officially formed as a non-profit organization to bring theatre productions to Bourbon County. Vice President Melissa Guns says they want to utilize local theatre spaces available in Ft. Scott, as well as bringing in events like park performances. “We want to bring community theater back to Fort Scott, not just for entertainment purposes, but also for educational purposes. There’s so much that we learned through the theater, along with the entertainment value, and then it also provides an outlet,” she said. “It’s just something that brings a vitality to your town. It gives everyone an opportunity to get involved in theater. Theater and music are a couple of those things that allow people an opportunity to fade away from the world around them and just enjoy life for a little bit,” said Matthew Wells, BCCT President. On March 16, the group’s first event is an Adult Prom, with tickets starting at $50 per couple.
