The Full Monty bursts onto the stage with a hilarious blend of humor, heart, and a healthy dose of male vulnerability. Set in a depressed steel town in Sheffield, England, the story follows a group of unemployed men facing financial hardship and a crisis of masculinity. Gaz, a charismatic but down-on-his-luck former factory worker, witnesses the newfound confidence of his wife after attending a Chippendales performance.

Inspired by this unexpected revelation, Gaz hatches a daring plan – to form an all-male striptease act, "The Full Monty." Initially met with skepticism and apprehension, Gaz rallies his reluctant friends, each with their own insecurities and anxieties about baring it all (literally!). Through a series of hilarious rehearsals, the men overcome their self-consciousness and develop a newfound sense of camaraderie and support for each other.

The Full Monty is more than just a show about stripping. It's a story about male bonding, the courage to step outside your comfort zone, and the importance of friendship in the face of adversity. The catchy score blends pop, rock, and traditional British music, perfectly capturing the humor and emotional journey of the characters. With its uplifting message of overcoming challenges and celebrating self-acceptance, The Full Monty leaves you with a smile and a newfound appreciation for the power of male camaraderie.

South Bend Civic Theatre Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

What is the history of South Bend Civic Theatre ?

South Bend Civic Theatre (SBCT) was founded in 1957 by two University of Notre Dame graduates who believed community theatre should be an important part of this area’s culture, and who also believed that living in our community were aspiring actors and actresses who needed to show and form their talents. While early performances were held in homes, hotels, and various locations at Notre Dame, SBCT staged most of its productions after 1968 at the Firehouse, a local historic landmark located on Portage Ave, in South Bend’s historic Near Northwest neighborhood.Beginning in 2000, SBCT began staging larger productions outside the Firehouse, and exploring options for a new permanent venue. In January 2007, the beginning of the Civic’s 50th Anniversary year, SBCT celebrated the opening of its new home in the heart of downtown South Bend, in what had formerly been a First Church of Christ Scientist. The historic domed structure is an architectural wonder and sealed SBCT’s position as a pillar of the region’s art community.
