These theatres are amateur organizations and are different for professional theatre companies. A community theatre may have its own building or perform in a school or church hall. The actors and actresses do not receive money for their work in the community theatre. They have other jobs to support themselves instead. Small communities cant support a full time theatre. They cannot pay actors, directors or stage workers, so the theatre participants work for free.
One purpose of community theatre is to provide an opportunity for creative work. Many people join in community theatres because they want to perform or to be creative. Several people in a community theatre group were asked why they join. Each one said he or she needed to be creative, to be something original. One man said, I loved act. Its the only time I feel alive. Another said, I have a very boring job. In the play, I can create something. One woman said, My whole life is occupied by husband and family. I need something more than that.
Another purpose of community theatre is to educate and improve the community. Theatre is an art but also introduces new ideas to the audience.
