Tiare — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:00:04 +0000

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. 17^th.
