Champlin Park Theatre

Our Mission

At Champlin Park High School, we strive to provide students with an educational theatre experience. By providing four productions throughout the school year, we allow opportunities for all students to be involved.

These productions include full-length musicals and plays, one-act plays, student-written one-acts, and theatre for young audiences. All students are encouraged to take part—whether performing on stage, helping on the technical side, playing in the pit orchestra, or writing their own script.

We strive to vary the students’ theatre experience by providing a wide range of performance styles and cast sizes. Occasionally, smaller cast shows are chosen to allow students the opportunity to develop their acting skills in smaller setting—similar to a varsity sports team—where more focus can be placed on individual performers.

Our productions allow students to take part in comedies, dramas, classics, and modern works. A wide range of shows are chosen, including works not as well know, in order to build student resumes that stand apart from others’ when applying for college.

Champlin Park Theatre Association

Champlin Park Theatre Association (CPTA) is a group of parents and community members dedicated to the continued success of Champlin Park High School Theatre. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose goal is to support the school, students, and production staff by providing dinner during tech week, volunteering at performances, helping with marketing, fundraising for program needs, and organizing the annual spring theatre banquet.

One of the biggest ways to help Champlin Park Theatre grow is through fundraising. Fundraising revenue is earned through the sale of concessions, a silent auction, sponsorships, program advertising, and contributions from supporters just like you! Funds are used to supplement the theatre department’s budget for marketing, supplies, equipment, and personnel. 

Funds raised will also be used to supplement participation fees for students and cover them completely for families for whom this cost causes a financial hardship.
