THE CLASSICAL THEATRE PROJECT CREATES LIVE ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE DIGITAL GENERATION.

CTP’s shows range from traditional Elizabethan productions of Shakespeare to technologically innovative adaptations of modern musical classics. What sets CTP apart is our commitment to creating relevant theatre for a new audience.

Whether we are playing to a young person attending live theatre for the first time, or Shakespeare’s biggest fan, CTP makes the experience entertaining, impactful and fun.

Since its founding by David Galpern and Charles Roy in 2001, CTP has played to more than 1,000,000 people in over 60 cities across North America. In addition to creating and touring first class productions of Shakespeare and various classic plays for young audiences, CTP produces a number of live theatre events for general audiences across Toronto, including ShakesBeer and The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged).

CTP’s extensive roster of productions includes Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Othello, Oedipus Rex, Peter Pan and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. CTP also offers interactive workshops for students, which include scene studies and stage combat demonstration, taught by our all-star cast (http://classicaltheatreproject.ca/2013/school-trips/workshops-programs/).

In 2013, David and Charles joined with storied producers Marlene and Geoffrey Smith to create NUMU Live Entertainment Group, becoming the new resident producers of the historic Winter Garden Theatre in downtown Toronto. One of NUMU’s first projects was producing the box office hit Canadian revival production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s CATS at the Panasonic Theatre in 2013. Since then, the vibrant creators behind the CTP have produced a North American tour of HAIR, the musical, and are in pre-production for the 25th Anniversary of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story, to be presented at the Winter Garden Theatre.
