CPT's Production of Mamma Mia! is Now Pending
Community Players Theatre would like to advise that the auditions and show dates for our production of Mamma Mia! are currently pending!
Until the state’s “Shelter in Place” order is lifted and we have more details regarding how we will be able to reenter society, the Board of Governors and the production staff will continue to monitor the situation and evaluate other necessary options as more information becomes available.
We know that the arts inspire hope and provide an escape from the everyday. The arts are perhaps needed now more than ever, to bring our community together, and keep us connected. We thank you for your understanding and patience at this time and we will keep you updated with any additional changes.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf - Postponed Until Further Notice
Community Players Theatre is announcing the postponement of our next show, Who’s Afraid of
Virginia Woolf until the state’s “Shelter in Place” order is lifted and the production staff can
evaluate options from there. Ticket sales will be suspended until further notice.
The following statement was issued this evening, April 6, 2020, from the show’s director, Brett
Cottone:
We hope that you, your friends, and your family are safe and healthy. The Illinois
shelter-in-place rules and staying at home have changed all of our lives. Live theatre
isn’t very easy to rehearse or patronize while practicing social distancing. Community
Players Theatre is all about social inclusion and that makes our mission very difficult at
this time.
