Children's Theatre Production Company

CTPC Programs  |  What's New  |  Meet Adrienne

The Children’s Theatre Production Company is the umbrella training program for the performing arts at the Gordon Center. Students develop imagination, concentration, character, professionalism, and technique, and strengthen their command of their body and voice in this supportive environment grounded in Jewish values. With their newfound confidence and skills, actors feel the thrill of performing on stage. Children find dynamic experiences whether they are beginners exploring acting for the first time, or more seasoned actors looking to gain deeper experience from trained professionals.

We are thrilled to offer a progression in musical theatre with training from youngest of performers, to our oldest and most devoted. From Broadway Tots to CTPC Kids, to CTPC Jr, and finally our audition only pre professional program, The Academy — there is plenty to pick from and for your budding star to grow!

What's New For Fall 2022?

As we continue to nurture and create an environment where children can continue their training in musical theatre, we have shifted our structure within CTPC Spring musical(s) process. As a part of our rehearsals, we now include Broadway Bootcamp as an integral and required beginning of the program. Whether your child has performed many times or is new the stage, the bootcamp will allow all levels to have several courses in audition prep, rehearsal etiquette, choreography retention and more, before diving into the upcoming show. Our auditions are now a part of our class process, and every child will receive a role in the production. This new structure allows us to delve into the process of putting on a musical as a team rooted in values and purpose. The goal is to create a tight knit, well rounded, and ever-growing ensemble of actors.

CTPC Broadway Tots (Ages 3-5)
View info

Rosenbloom Owings Mills JCC
A musical theatre class for our performing loving toddlers. CTPC’s Broadway TOTS will focus on the foundations of musical theatre in a fun, entertaining, and imaginative way. Every week, we begin every class with songs and games to train our tots about warming up in acting, voice, and dance. The last section of each class consists of learning a music and movement piece to age-appropriate Broadway tunes, to eventually create a showcase of our very own. Though we do not cast specific roles in our show, we hope that this class allows for our tots to aspire to the next big kid step, the year around CTPC Kids theatre program! This is an independent class from our grown-ups, but for the last class, we will have a final sharing showcase where we allow adults to watch and cheer us on.

If your child is a member of the Early Learning Center, they will be picked up from their classroom. Should they also be a late stay student, they will be brought back to their classroom for their typical dismissal. All non-late stay ELC students, and any other participants, will be dropped off and picked up in a later specified location.

CTPC Kids is the next step in musical theatre training, for ages 5-7.*In this level, we will combine the basic elements, with more intricate and detailed training for how to put together a full length musical. We begin with more complex musical theatre basics such as dancing and singing together as a group, counting music, choreography retention, and simplified blocking. CTPC Kids also delves into the exciting world of putting on a production also with basic lighting, costumes, props. During the production, the director will sit onstage to help direct our performers and therefore, to help set our youngest performers up for success! Every child signed up for CTPC Kids will receive a role based on their audition, past experience, level of commitment, and classroom behavior. *Please note, any 5-year-old must have the prerequisite of Broadway Tots, unless approved by the director.
