Mission

The mission of the CCS Theatre Department is to engage the creation, fall, and redemption of God's world by analyzing, understanding, and then recreating human nature in a way that is perhaps impossible without theatre. We strive to stretch students personally and artistically; to comprehend the values of hard work, respect for other human beings, and reception to constructive criticism; and to learn how to use theatre for God's glory. We hope to educate and serve our community by telling compelling stories by way of personal artistic expression.

Show Stopper

Our renowned Musical Theatre department frequently performs to sold-out crowds in the 550-seat Fine Arts Center auditorium. Theatre classes focus on acting, directing, and writing. Students also have the opportunity to explore stage combat, stage makeup, scenic design, children's theatre, and radio plays. Each summer, musical theatre camps give students a crash course in everything involved in putting on a show.

Fiddler on the Roof

Fiddler on the Roof tells the story of the small, tradition-steeped town of Anatevka, Russia, where Jews and Russians live in delicate balance. The time-honored traditions of Anatevka are both embraced and challenged by Tevye and his colorful community, as they witness his daughters, Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava, grow up and fall in love in a time of extraordinary change. Fiddler features such iconic songs as “Sunrise, Sunset,” “If I Were a Rich Man”, and “Matchmaker, Matchmaker.”
