Circle Theatre Company

Circle Theatre Company (CTC) is the theatre production class of Circle School of the Arts (CSA), and all CSA Musical Theatre Track students are members of Circle Theatre Company. Each year, CTC students perform in two fully staged, professional quality, family-friendly productions: a Christmas musical at the end of the first semester, and our season finale musical at the end of the second semester. They also have the opportunity to showcase their talents at Arts Night, a one-night performance of acts from across our theatre department. CTC rehearses regularly on Wednesdays from 12:20-3:30pm as a part of our CSA theatre program. CTC students are also required to take a core acting class (Acting 1, 2, 3, 4) as well as at least one year of our Dance Repertory class. These core classes, which also take place on Wednesdays, give our students the skills needed for the on-stage performance part of the program. CTC also has 4-5 outside-of-class- time rehearsals each semester on Friday evenings and Saturdays in order to accommodate the rehearsal schedule needed to produce their musicals.

CTC students also have the opportunity to serve as crew members in two to three additional performances per year, giving them the opportunity to learn valuable backstage skills as well as to mentor our younger theatre students. Many of our CTC students take advantage of these opportunities and consider them a highlight of their time in CTC!

In addition to registration fee, class fee, and performance fee, we also ask our families to participate in fundraising to cover additional production costs. Families are also expected to support the program through volunteering a minimum of 40 hours per year in a variety of ways.

THE SNOW WHITE VARIETY SHOW | Circle Studio Players | Nov 6-8, 2026 | COMMONS THEATRE

All the fun of just about every TV-show genre you can imagine is jam-packed into this wild and fast-paced comedy! You become the live studio audience on a talk show, Real Talk with Fairytale Legends, where the seven dwarves tell the story of Snow White as the Fairytale Players bring it to life.

As each new dwarf takes a turn telling part of Snow White’s famous story in his or her own unique voice, the players’ re-enactment shifts to match the style and personality of that particular dwarf. At any given moment, the story can be anything — romance, comedy, home improvement show, suspense, Western, epic poetry, mystery, cooking show, stand-up routine, or blockbuster action movie! There’s even a “Miss Fairest of Them All” beauty pageant!

It all culminates in a mad-dash ending of fast-changing genres that sets the record straight on Snow White’s happily-ever-after. This variety show spoof of the fairytale classic literally has something for everyone! Perfect for the whole family!

JINGLE IN THE CITY | Circle Theatre Company with Circle Theatre Kids | Dec 11-13, 2026 | MAIN STAGE THEATRE

Come enjoy a jazz filled 1940’s Christmas in the middle of New York City! Follow the pick-pocketing adventures of a little band of homeless children who steal the hearts of all while discovering the true meaning of belonging and love.

This engaging story is woven with delightful original songs as well as some familiar Christmas favorites. From the show-stopping “Stomp”-style rendition of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” to the poignant “O to Be Loved”, you will be enthralled by the high energy and contrasting tenderness of the story which culminates in a touching and beautiful retelling of the nativity Christmas story. The powerful finale “Immanuel” masterfully drives home the musical’s theme of the transforming power of Jesus in the lives of those who trust in Him.

The perfect holiday evening and a wonderful way to share the story of Jesus and the life-changing truths of Christmas with those who do not know Him.

ARTS NIGHT 2027 | Mar 12, 2027 | MAIN STAGE THEATRE

DREAMWORKS MADAGASCAR A MUSICAL ADVENTURE JR | Circle Theatre Kids | Apr 9-11, 2027 | COMMONS THEATRE

Join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the hip hip Hippo and, of course, those hilarious, plotting penguins as they bound onto your stage in the musical adventure of a lifetime. Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar – A Musical Adventure JR. follows all of your favorite crack-a-lackin’ friends as they escape from their home in New York’s Central Park Zoo and find themselves on an unexpected journey to the madcap world of King Julien’s Madagascar.

Alex the lion is the king of the urban jungle, the main attraction at New York's Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends — Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo — have spent their whole lives in blissful captivity before an admiring public and with regular meals provided for them. Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty lets his curiosity get the better of him and makes his escape — with the help of some prodigious penguins — to explore the world.

Filled with outlandish characters, adventure galore and an upbeat score, Madagascar JR. will leave audiences with no choice but to “Move It, Move It!”

DISNEY'S FROZEN THE BROADWAY MUSICAL | Circle Theatre Company with Circle Studio Players | May 7-9, 2027 | MAIN STAGE THEATRE

For the first time in forever, experience the musical phenomenon that has taken the world by storm! Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, Disney’s Frozen includes all the film’s beloved songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with new music written exclusively for the stage.

In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.

Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.
