About COPPELL COMMUNITY THEATRE INC (dba Theatre Coppell)

Coppell Community Theatre, Inc., operating as Theatre Coppell, is an all‑volunteer community theatre organization founded in the mid-1980s that produces a full season of plays and musicals for the Coppell area. The company presents a variety of shows each season (including family-friendly productions, at least one musical, and productions that feature young performers) and serves as the resident company performing in the Wheelice Wilson Jr. Theatre at the Coppell Arts Center.

Theatre Coppell has a long history of local engagement: it began staging productions in 1988, moved into the city-supported arts facility, and continues to rely on volunteers, local sponsors, and community ticket buyers to mount six full productions each season. In recent years the company has sustained active programming (notably seasons in 2023–2025) and maintained a consistent schedule of public performances, auditions, workshops and volunteer opportunities.

The organization is donor‑facing and tax‑exempt, files annual Form 990 returns, and is recognized locally for its cultural contribution and longevity as a community arts organization.
