MISSION
"Main Street community theater is a
non-profit organization, and active membership is open to anyone
interested in any phase of the theatre. The purpose of the theatre
is to contribute to the cultural and recreational life of our community by
presenting outstanding plays, and giving the membership an opportunity for
self-expression in the art of acting and its allied fields."

Main Street Board
Production
Emmetsburg Main Street Theater is a
non-profit organization composed of people who have a common interest in
community theater. It's first production, How to Succeed in Business
Without Really Trying, occurred in 1978 with performances at the
Middle School Auditorium. In 1986, the Theater obtained its own
Performing Arts Center at 19th and Palmer Streets, where all performances
are now given.
EMST has developed a reputation for providing
quality community theater productions that rival professional groups.
The quality of talent is exceptional for a community of this size,
and the theater draws its audience and participants from the
entire area. EMST usually produces a musical, a children's
theater, and occasionally an additional production each year.
It operates entirely with volunteers. The community theater
is operated by a Board of Directors elected to three-year terms by the
membership at its annual meeting. It is supported by membership
fees, revenues from productions, and occasional grants.
