CTC exists to commission and present new and adapted pieces of professional theatre that explore socially relevant and challenging issues which face a global community. All performance pieces are especially created by young people and professional artists FOR audiences of all ages.

CTC’s process involves perceiving and interpreting the significance of current events in light of an appropriate historical perspective- and finding an artistic expression of that perspective through a multi-disciplinary approach utilizing drama, dance, music and art.

Forming a common vision of a desirable collaborative presentation based on shared values and principles, and articulating this in a way that inspires and challenges the work both artistically and intrinsically.
