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.
