CTP Kids
CTP Kids/Ninos Bilingual Program (founded in 2020) grew from our desire to provide access to the arts for younger members of our community who are underrepresented in live theatre. We began reading stories in Spanish and English and having mini shows where children acted out the stories. As the program grew, we added more production elements and education. We look forward to continuing to expand the experiences and reach of this program. We encourage you to join us for a unique and fun-filled experience.

James Morrison Collier Art Gallery
CTP Playhouse is the only theatre space in the Rogue Valley which features new visual art installations for each Main Stage production. Beginning with our very first show in 2017, we envisioned a space to promote local artists, by offering a venue to exhibit their art, grow their clientele and contribute to the overall creative atmosphere of the Playhouse. We have had such a variety of visual artists exhibit with us, that when we were given a gift by James Morrison Collier prior to his passing, we felt it would be appropriate to acknowledge his contribution by naming the gallery for him. A bronze plaque commemorates the establishment of the James Morrison Collier Art Gallery continuing his legacy as a supporter of the arts.
The gallery has exhibited works from a vast variety of artists and continues to seek out new visual artists for inclusion. If you are an artist or know of anyone who might wish to be included in our space, please send inquiries to CTPOregon@gmail.com or call us at (541)779-1055.
