    We are sad to announce that our annual celebration of social justice, Station Hope, has been postponed. If you’ve been to the event, you know that one of the highlights is the beautiful nearly 200-year-old structure St. John’s Episcopal Church where the event is held. The building has some structural issues that need repairing for safe use; and the Episcopal Diocese is working to create a plan to address these issues. We look forward to presenting Station Hope along with the diocese in the future. Thanks to all who have attended or performed at the event these past 10 years. If you’re looking for another free family fun event, please consider attending one of our Student Theatre Enrichment Program (STEP performances) coming this summer. www.cptonline.org📸Steve Wagner ...

    Disfruta estas fotos de ensayo para "Grandeza," la segunda semana de Test Flight (Part 2), 29–31 de mayo.Please enjoy these rehearsal photos of "Grandeza," the second week of Test Flight (Part 2), May 29–31."Grandeza" es una exploración por comedia negra de la identidad, el coraje y el peso de las expectativas culturales. Cuando un adolescente sale del clóset, descubre una verdad sorprendente: el mundo entero está atrapado en sus propios clósets, aferrándose a tradiciones que lo han moldeado y confinado. A medida que el amor familiar choca con la honestidad brutal, la lucha por la aceptación se transforma en un viaje implacable de autodescubrimiento y despertar. Adornado con humor agudo y momentos conmovedores, "Grandeza" nos desafía a despojarnos de viejas identidades y luchar por el respeto, la autenticidad y la grandeza en la forma en que vivimos y amamos. Realizado en español, este taller celebra las voces latinas y ofrece una poderosa reflexión sobre nuestra humanidad compartida."Grandeza" is a dark comedy exploration of identity, courage, and the weight of cultural expectations. When a teenager comes out of the closet, he uncovers a startling truth: the entire world is trapped in closets of their own, clinging to traditions that have shaped and confined them. As familial love collides with brutal honesty, the fight for acceptance transforms into an unrelenting journey of self-discovery and awakening. Laced with sharp humor and poignant moments, "Grandeza" challenges us to shed old identities and strive for respect, authenticity, and grandeur in how we live and love. Performed in Spanish, this workshop celebrates Latine voices and offers a powerful reflection of our shared humanity.🎟️: 🔗 en bio o cptonline.org, 🔗 in bio or cptonline.org📸: Alejandro Martinez ...
