Community Players Theatre

Community Players Theatre The non-profit theatre ministry of Community Lutheran Church Escondido. CPT offers a place for performing, creativity and a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

We started Community Players Theater as a way of allowing Community Lutheran Church members and non-members to share their gifts in the performing arts. Our community has flourished and grown in a short time but our goals haven't changed: we are here to share performing arts with our community, and wish to extend a hand to anyone in our area to get involved and share their gifts.

- Chris Ryan, Founder, Community Players Theatre

Email us ([email protected]) if you would like to be considered, or if you have other questions about getting involved!
