History

The Winfield Community Theatre has a long, proud tradition of entertainment, which you can find documented here.  One of those traditions is awarding on member of the cast with the Hambone award. This coveted award recognizes the cast member who went above and beyond during a production with their performance and work-ethic. 

Stay tuned as we work to update our full history here. In the meantime, feel free to check out the information available on our former website
