Welcome to the Chequamegon Children’s Theater!

The Chequamegon Children’s Theater was founded in 1987 and incorporated as non-profit 501(c)3 in 1997. Since then, 367 children have participated in 32 productions and over 90 performances. Our mission is to offer all children who wish to participate the opportunity to develop confidence in themselves and increase their self-esteem through the unique experience of live theater. In a supportive environment, under the tutelage of experienced, professional directors, children learn collaboration, discipline, the simple joy of performance, and the magic of theater.

Wonderland

Wonderland is a new spin on Alice Through The Looking Glass that reminds us “ordinary magic happens every single day.”

Just moments away from a promotion, Alice has been estranged from her husband and alienated from her daughter. When a dream transports her to Wonderland, she encounters strange yet familiar characters including a Cheshire Cat with a fabulous flair, a delightfully dotty Queen of Hearts, and a malicious Mad Hatter. Through her journey, Alice finds a new sense of balance and strength within herself as she reconnects with her inner child and learns to believe in herself again.

CCT in Action!

In 2020, with Covid-19 upending our lives and creating such uncertainty we were forced to cancel our summer show. It was a difficult decision to make but the health and well being of our performers, our artistic team, our audience and our community is paramount. To keep the CCT spirit alive we created the Dream Your Dreams Cabaret, a project meant to celebrate the history of Chequamegon Children’s Theater and the performers who have made it possible. We sincerely thank everyone who worked to make this cabaret a resounding success and are proud to present it to you. Enjoy!
