Biographical Note
Irene Belcher was born in Muncie, the daughter of Joseph and Lola Howell Thompson. She attended
Jefferson School and graduated from Muncie High School and the Indiana State Normal School, Eastern
Division, (now Ball State University) in 1923. Mrs. Belcher taught at Lincoln School before marrying
Aaron (Doug) Belcher in 1924. Mr. Belcher taught school and worked at Ontario as a foreman. He
eventually joined the Muncie Fire Dept., serving as chief for several years. The Belchers had two
daughters, Judy and Martha (Mollie).
Always interested in theatre, Irene Belcher played summer stock roles with the Princeton Players
in Princeton, New Jersey, along with such stage notables as Tallulah Bankhead, Humphrey Bogart,
Helen Hayes and others. She was also a charter member of Muncie Civic Theatre and very active in the
organization, as actress, producer, membership volunteer and also president of the group. It was during
her term as president that Muncie Civic Theatre moved from its former headquarters in the Masonic
Temple to its present address, 216 E. Main St., the site of two former movie theatres, the Star and the
Hoosier.
Irene Belcher operated an educational theatre program for school age children locally for thirty years. She
opened her first children’s studio in the 1930s, across from the old City Hall building, on the southwest
corner f Jackson and Jefferson. From there she moved to the third floor of the Chamber of Commerce
building, on the corner of Jefferson and Main St., where she had the entire top floor. Mrs. Belcher was
also active in children’s theatre groups nationally, being one of the original twenty members who formed
the National Children’s Theatre Conference in 1944. She served several times as advisor for children’s
theatres throughout the country.
Other organizations in which she was active included Muncie Matinee Musicale, for which she served
one year as president. She directed, produced and acted in plays given by the High Street Players and
served as director and producer of the community Easter Pageant from 1950-1960. Mrs. Belcher also
acted in and directed productions of Little Shoestring Theatre, the summer theatre tent shows given on the
Ball State campus by its Theatre Department.
In the early 1960s, she and her husband, along with Ruth Ball Harker and her son, Walter, operated a
booking agency, bringing productions to Muncie, such as the San Francisco Ballet.
Irene Belcher died November 29, 1984, at the age of 82.
