A Youth-Driven Production
Part of CCT’s YouTheatre program, this PB&J Players production features students in grades 1–6 who have participated in a full theatrical process—from auditions to choreography and performance—under professional direction.
The production also includes collaboration with CCT’s after-school stagecraft class, giving students hands-on experience both onstage and behind the scenes.
“Our PB&J Players go through a real theatrical process: auditions, blocking, choreography—the full experience,” said Artistic Director Jerry Stevenson. “What families will see on stage is the result of weeks of dedicated work by young performers developing real skills.”
“This production is a great example of how our programs work together,” added Director of Operations Sadie Carr. “Students aren’t just performing—they’re learning how a production comes together from the ground up.”
