ZCT's Angel Tree Benefit began in December 1990 and raised $400 and now, 16 years later, often raises in excess of $2,800 to benefit the Salvation Army serving Muskingum, Perry, and Morgan Counties in Ohio.

Zanesville Community Theatre's dedication to serving the community continues. the ZCT Annual Angel Tree Benefit strives to create a show that embraces the sincerest meaning of the holiday while serving the needs of community members who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances. Centered around the holiday theme, ZCT creates a festive show that celebrates the season including winter wonders, traditional holiday music and music that may be in future holiday traditions, tugs at heartstrings and humor. Every year, ZCT's theater also gets a visit from that 'Gentleman of the North' who brings gifts for all the boys and girls after the show. It's a Zanesville Tradition that leaves folks with a warm holiday feeling.

Here's why ZCT's Angel Tree Benefit Show is a successful community tradition:
Everyone who wants to participate can - on stage, behind the scenes, raffle prize contributors - everyone is welcome and no one is turned away.

The entire show is made up of volunteers who join in the mission of helping families in need. No member of this production or any ZCT production gets paid.

ZCT opens the show for a donation instead of their set ticket price.

ZCT's goal is for families to come and enjoy a holiday show together while knowing their donation is helping families who are in need.

All monies collected by way of donations or raffle go directly to support the Salvation Army's cause to help needy families of our area and surrounding communities. All production costs are paid by Zanesville Community Theatre and private donations.

The entire Angel Tree Production is successful because members truly believe in what ZCT's Angel Tree Benefit does for the community.

It's people helping people.

With your help, ZCT raised over $2,800!!! Thanks

Director's Note:

Our theatre, being wholly subsidized by our patrons and members from Zanesville and surrounding communities, needed a way to say 'Thank You' and give something back to the community. I thought a community Christmas show would be just the ticket. With the help of an old friend (Bruce Revennaugh) we came up with some guidelines

We'd put on two shows
We would write and produce it ourselves
We would give all the monies we garnered to the Salvation Army's Angel Tree (ZCT's shoppers using the money raised and actually buying the presents delivered to the Salvation Army)
We would take only donations (no set ticket price)
and
We would cast everybody that auditions
(this would help us find new talent)

Our goal was to put on a quality theatrical production, family oriented, celebrating the season and ultimately help some kids in the
process.

That was 16 years ago.

Friends, family, professional and amateurs - our people have come together to entertain the community, provoking laughter, tears,
introspective thoughts and rejoicing. Raising thousands of dollars and helping hundreds of children - dreams become reality and on Christmas morning, the gifts we help give seemingly come back ten fold.

One Star info and Credits

When I wrote "One Star" it wasn't about politics. I saw that a family on the evening news had been told they had lost a loved one. It was only about the 12th (not sure of the exact number) person who lost their life in our "war against terrorism" and something my sister told me came to mind. She had lost her husband to cancer, he was only 36 and that the first year after he was gone - everything was different - a whole year of firsts, first birthday, first anniversary, first Christmas....

I thought what a blow it would be if you got this terrible news at the holidays (no time would be a good time) and how the family and friends would have to cope. My heart went out to these people. I just wanted the families to know that people care.
