From April through November, farmers and vendors fill Showers Common with locally grown produce, annual and perennial plants, and freshly baked bread for the Saturday morning Market. Local musicians perform while thousands of people find their way among the corn and tomatoes, local dairy products, and warm scents of fresh herbs. The Market often feels like equal parts shopping, socializing, and treasure hunt. Come early so you can amble among friends as you seek out that dried lavender or fresh basil you have been dreaming about.

The Market is open every Saturday, April through September, from 8 am until 1 pm and Saturdays in October and November from 9 am until 1 pm The season ends with the Holiday Market on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, from 10 am – 3 pm.

For the first time in Bloomington history, MCCT will attempt to read the complete dramatic works of William Shakespeare… and we invite the entire Bloomington community to join us!

As Bloomington’s only all-volunteer community theatre troupe, we make participation in the art of theatre open to anyone and everyone , regardless of experience or background. The 25th Anniversary Shakespeare in the Park is our largest participation opportunity yet — the chance for potentially hundreds of local theatre-lovers to engage with the work of one of history’s greatest cultural figures.

For twenty-five years, Monroe County Civic Theater has presented the works of William Shakespeare, free and open to the public.

To celebrate this achievement, MCCT will hold a week-long festival during which the complete dramatic works will be presented as readings, in a variety of venues throughout the city of Bloomington. The festival will culminate with our mainstage production of Hamlet, directed by board vice-president Gregory Morales.

June 7:
9:00 am “Measure for Measure”
11:30 am “Timon of Athens”
2:00 pm “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”
7:00 pm “Hamlet”
