CTC is the only theatre in Central Oregon that is entirely volunteer-based. While a skeleton staff of two manages the organization's day-to-day operations, all productions are directed, acted, designed, built and painted by volunteers. Those with a wealth of experience teach those with little or none. It s a rare production at CTC that doesn't feature at least one new face onstage or backstage and more often than not the new volunteers have just as much to offer.CTC presents five full-length, Mainstage productions yearly, with 14 performances each. CTC often offers additional presentations such as dramatic readings, a limited run of a play or a late night studio production of cutting-edge theatre. CTC was the 'parent company' to The Bend Theatre for Young People and The Children's Music Theatre Group. These groups are specialized for the teaching and performance of theatre by children of all school ages.Volunteer: Cascades Theatrical Company, 2nd Street Theater, Circle Bar B Dinner Theatre, Seaside Theatre Company, Santa Barbara Little Theater
Hayden Homes Amphitheater is unique. Built in the Old Mill District in 2001, this venue has a riverfront view and can seat around 9000 people. Pretty impressive isn't it? Wait till you hear the list of performers that have rocked this joint. Bob Dylan, Coldplay, Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson, Doobie Brothers, the list just goes on and on and on. So, bring along your picnic basket, as this place doubles up as a meeting ground. And if you are not a skinflint, then call and demand to know when the next concert is? You never know, you could just catch the Beach Boys in motion.
