THe Geneva Kent Center for the Arts
We have a home! In February of 2023, Alchemy took up residence in the old Geneva Kent Elementary School. Through the generous help of local businesses, and the blood, sweat, and tears of community and company volunteers, Alchemy's Geneva Kent Center for the Arts is open for business! Our mission to provide an accessible space for local artisans is well on its way. We're beyond excited to show you our new black box theatre, costume and props shops, dance studio, Linda's Lounge, and more. If you or your company need a venue for performing arts classes, rehearsals, or shows please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Guys and Dolls

This hilarious and exciting tale of Nathan Detroit and Sky Masterson trying to run a secret craps game on the streets of New York without alerting the cops, the local Save A Soul Mission, or, worse, their love interests Adelaide and Sarah! With lots of well known hits like Take Back Your Mink, Luck Be A Lady and Sit Down Your Rockin The Boat, its just another show that will blow the doors off of this place!
The Old Time Classics Radio Show 2026
December 18, 2026 - December 20, 2026
The old time Christmas Radio Show will be another low bar, reader's theater show with live sound effects performed on stage as the story is read by a full cast of actors, just like they did before the advent of television and moving pictures!
New Works 2027
January 8, 2027 - January 10, 2027
Every year we start the season with New Works, showing off brand new plays and scripts and all sorts of other written work that hasn't been seen before.
Our new works festival is extremely important to us and for the development of writers, locally and abroad. Once again we'll have brand new, never-before-seen plays.
