The characters in this story learn a lot about brotherly love and it was fitting that during this production, CTM supported Big Brothers Big Sisters of Warren County, a non-profit organization that helps children reach their potential through one on one mentoring relationships with volunteers. Audiences donated colorful arts/crafts or school supplies. Addtionally, thru the generosity of CTM patrons and audience members, CTM was able to present BBBS with a check in the amount of $500.
CTM proudly took the timeless story of Cinderella to heart.
Like Cinderella, many foster children have faced difficult odds and shattered dreams. And while we can't work the magic of a fairy Godmother, we can help improve the lives of those most in need. CTM's Cinderella production supported Shepherd's Crook to help them with their mission of finding children loving and caring foster and adoptive parents and place each child in an environment in which they can prosper and flourish.

The adventurous tale of the "boy who wouldn't grow up," the story of Peter Pan begins in the Darling nursery, where Mr. & Mrs. Darling have tucked their children into bed.
