Ive been thinking about joining the local community theatre but I have no idea what to expect, Have you ever been to one? 
i have actually,  Community theatre refers to theatrical performance made in relation to particular communities
Neat! Yeah I just am really nervous about performing in front of a live audience. Can you get paid for acting at a local community theatre? I wanna start an acting career. 
some can but it is not common,  It may refer to theatre that is made entirely by a community with no outside help
