2012 Already?
Posted in News, Uncategorized by Tiare
Camden Civic Theatre’s 2011 season is in full swing. The rehearsal hall is echoing with the sounds of pirate dueling and lost boys’ antics in Neverland. Meanwhile, pre-production for melodramatic villiany is picking up stream as the train readies at the platform before heading to the crossroads. But the journey won’t end there! Time to start making plans for the next great adventure!
The CCT board is already preparing for our 2012 season. If you are interested in becoming more involved in the fun, please contact Kate Fletcher ( yaddo3@yahoo.com ) about joining our board of directors. Election of new board members occurs at our annual meeting, scheduled this year for Saturday, Sept. 17th.
Really want to be in the thick of things? Have an inclination to direct? At our annual meeting the membership also votes on the slate of shows for the coming season. The CCT board currently seeks play submissions to be considered for the 2012 season. Find a copy of our suggested play submission form under the heading “about” on this website . We must have submissions by August 12th in order to meet the by-laws deadline of announcing plays up for a vote at least 30 days before the annual meeting.
Just don’t want to wait for 2012? We can always use production help! Help us build Hook’s ship, run lights, organize front of house and more. Send us an e-mail at info@camdencivictheatre.com

CCT Committees
Posted in News by Mim
Every production takes a whole team of people to make it come to fruition. And CCT as an organization needs help getting all that work done. We always love to see actors and directors come through the door, but even more we love to find folks who enjoy the technical, productions and house aspects of a life in the theater. We have the following committees that need support from our community:
- Technical Committee– If you’ve always wondered “how did they do that?” you can learn a lot about making the effects of a show happen. Or if you have experience or training and would like to put it to good use in a fun atmosphere, we can use your help. Lighting, sound, costumes, props, make-up, set design/building, there are so many ways to make the magic happen. What are you most interested in?
- Play Selection/Directors Committee– If you have opinions or ideas about the plays we should or could be producing, this is your opportunity to have a share in shaping our season.
- Publicity Committee–We need to get the word out so we have audiences enjoy the fruits of our efforts.
