To Our CCT Family & Friends

July begins of our 25th year of offering quality theatre focusing on youth. This was to have been a year of great celebration for all we have accomplished over the past 25 years. As you know, due to the Corona virus we have already cancelled our travelling troupes and our youth production of Godspell. It is with great sadness that we are announcing that we have officially cancelled our production of Newsies for this October. As hard as this decision was, it is the proper thing to do to keep our guests, cast and crew safe. Our Board plans on meeting in the fall and based on the best information at the time we will make plans for 2021 with the hope of rescheduling our productions.

We want to thank everyone who supports us in any way. Your encouragement is so important at this time. We will return and celebrate the joy we all share as a community theatre group.

Clearview Community Theatre Travelling Troupes Winter/Spring 2020

WhatThe Travelling Troupes have three main functions: 1) to take musical theatre to people who otherwise may not be able to attend our large stage shows, 2) to provide an additional musical theatre experience for our members without the need to audition and 3) to prepare a program of entertainment for our spring fundraising dinner/concert. Our troupes will be available to perform in nursing homes, senior's complexes, service clubs and other organizations requesting a short musical presentation.

There are some costs associated with the Troupes:
1)Any person associated with the production of our travelling troupes must be a member of our theatre group. Current memberships are valid from July 1st, 2019 to June 30th, 2020. Membership costs are: single $40.00 and family $100.00. If you bought a membership for 'Joseph' or the Ukulele Troupe last fall, then you are covered.
2)There will be an additional $30.00 production cost for each of the Troupes. This will cover costs associated with the purchase of music and any photocopying, hall use and purchasing of gear such as music stands.
3)Open, Ukulele & Youth Troupe members will be expected to purchase a performance show shirt for about $35.00.
