ctc4teens 
In Fall 2005, CTC opened a new building expansion that included the construction of the Cargill Theatre designed primarily for productions for teen audiences, as well as an education center where theatre arts classes are taught. With the introduction of teen programming, CTC decided to establish a teen council to help build participation among their peers in the Theatre's teen programming including stage productions, education, and community events. This council now goes by the name teen seen council.

2008/09 ctc4teens shows
Five Fingers of Funk
By hip hop theater genius WILL POWER
Music by WILL POWER and JUSTIN ELLINGTON
Directed by DERRICK SANDERS
October 21 - November 16, 2008
A fierce new premiere that's as much concert as coming of age story. Humor, talent and dedication to the funkalicious fingerings of classic 70's funk music keep this group of high school friends determined to win the big contest at Dee Dee's. You'll feel the fine vibe of the sound as the band jams together every afternoon. Outside, parents are difficult, love gets complicated and drugs are tempting, but in Big Ced's garage, the music's the thang that holds them together.

Romeo and Juliet
By WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Adapted by GREG BANKS
Directed by GREG BANKS
February 10 - March 8, 2009
Shakespeare's immortal story of young love and rebellion comes to new life in this thrilling staging by the director of the acclaimed ctc4teens production, Antigone. Romeo and Juliet ignite the passion and rage of all of Verona with sword fights, masquerade balls, and lover's trysts. And in this production, where there are no seats, you'll find yourself caught up in the energy, inches from the actors as the action swirls and erupts around you.
