About the Program

CTC exists to create extraordinary theatre experiences that EDUCATE, CHALLENGE, and INSPIRE young people. Our Theatre Arts Training classes can change your child's life by nurturing the ability and desire to think critically, work collaboratively, build self-confidence, and become assertive, active members of society. Classes are well-rounded with two primary areas of focus:

  • Building skills in acting, music, and dance, while using theatre to empower students to become active and informed citizens of the world.

  • To allow students the opportunity to express themselves, collaborate with others, explore the creative process, and investigate elements of story, character, themes, and genres.
