Our History

Community Theatre for Southwest Missouri, Inc.

In 1928, Carthage Music Club was formed by Mrs. Harry Spradling performing musical shows in schools, churches, and other locations.


In  the late 1970s, as part of the Missouri Federation of Music Clubs, Carthage Music and Theatre Club was formed to broaden the scope of the  Club's productions to include theatrical performances. Once again,  productions were held in schools, churches, and other locations.


On  September 11, 1984, Carthage Music and Theatre Club incorporated as Community Theatre for Southwest Missouri, Inc. d/b/a Stone's Throw  Dinner Theatre. On May 9, 1988, Dr. Foster and Hilda Whitten donated the  land on which the current theatre stands. The Theatre sponsored "A  Night on Broadway '88" on September 10, 1988, raising $11,000 toward  construction of the theatre building.


The Theatre is now a  volunteer run, not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting,  facilitating, and supporting the performing arts in Southwest Missouri  and the Four-States Area. 


Renovations and updates to the dining room are recently completed. Fundraising continues for future improvement projects.
