About Company C: Company C is a six month program offered only to graduates of the two-year performing arts diploma at the Canadian College of Performing Arts, giving young performers the chance to work on three professional shows with three professional directors. It also allows individuals to have a role in one of the many theatre production elements: Sets, Lighting, Sound, Wardrobe, Props, Stage Management, Music Direction, Choreography, Marketing/Box Office/Front of House and Theatre Administration, as well as perform onstage. Each of the company’s three productions has a rehearsal time of four weeks, and a performance run ranging from six to eight shows.

The season is packed with many great stories including the famed musical Cabaret, and Wintertime, a contemporary piece about a family of quarreling couples, and their neighbours, crammed into a cabin in the middle of winter (please visit http://www.ccpacanada.com/ for more information.)
