March 10 - It was CT PLAY's first ever winter junior performance this past weekend, which featured a wonderful winter tale that was appropriate for the time of year. FROZEN JR brought the well-known Cottage Theatre's youth program, CT PLAY, back to the stage with two sold-out performances and a full cast of kids aged 6 to 17.

Thirty child performers performed in the first-ever winter JR play at the Cottage Theatre on March 3 and 4. Favorite songs from the movie, like "Let It Go" and "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" were included in the 60-minute Frozen adaption, which also included a narrative written especially for young actors.

The cast included Rachel Wilhour as Young Anna, Eleanor Lillard as Young Elsa, Mila Dahl as Anna, Willow Kelty as Elsa, Zoe Goings as Kristoff, Khloe Humphries as Sven, Josie Chevalier as Hans, Opal Molina as Weselton, and Esmé Troxel as Olaf.

Others in the talented cast included: Taiga Eller, Wisper Pilling, Faith Kupsick, Marissa Isbell, Jack Molloy, Grace Olson, Faith Kupsick, Eysa Bolanos, Josie Eckstine, Seren Ruiz, Avis Sitter, Lily Buckner, Lillian Windham, Delilah Amos, Abigail Hager, Lily Dorr, Tynan Kiser, Hannah-Joy Thornton, Eleanor Lillard, Paige Johnson, Cage Honer, and Karziah Legaspino.

More opportunities for youth theater will be announced soon. Mark your calendar for two forthcoming sessions that are specifically for people interested in volunteering and getting involved with Cottage Theatre.

On March 18 at 11:00 am, there will be a volunteer open house for the new production. A new usher orientation also will be held on March 25 at 11:00 am. For more information, please visit the Cottage Theatre website: https://www.cottagetheatre.org
