Warren Civic Theatre and Open Door Productions' goal is to produce, promote and educate our community in all aspects of the theatre arts using professional and amateur, local and national talent.

Additionally, we are committed to a policy of inclusion. As such, most of our productions incorporate "open casting", ANYONE who auditions for our shows will be given a role. Those not yet able to read must have a responsible adult in the show to help guide them.
