Shows
Our two troupes present four fabulous large-scale musical theatre productions annually. We specialize in great family-oriented entertainment!
Children’s Theatre of Elgin (CTE) performs at the Hemmens Cultural Center with cast members in Grades 2 – 9. CTE shows are primarily based on fairy tales, children’s literature, or shortened Broadway favorites.
Fox Valley Theatre Company (FVTC) is more advanced with cast members in Grade 9 – 20 years old performing full-length Broadway-type musicals at the Elgin Community College Arts Center.
Join us for an enchanted tale as old as time, under the stars! CTE and FVTC combine to tell this beloved classic fairy tale at our first live performance after a year and a half. Filled with all your favorite characters, like Belle, the Beast, Lumiere, Gaston, and all the rest – plus, of course, dancing forks and enchanted furniture! With a cast ranging from age 7 to age 20, this performance is a wonderful way to welcome our actors and their families, and our community, back to our stage. Thank you to Elgin Community College and the City of Elgin for their collaboration in helping to make this possible!
