How does this college theater do it? Using student actors and
non-pros cast from open auditions,
The Collin Theatre Center
(formerly known as Quad C Theatre) consistently offers professional-level productions that
outshine Equity-heavy downtown stages!
In three acting spaces, including the 350-seat
John Anthony Theatre,
CTC produces enormous, spectacularly designed shows!
Last fall's elegant and disturbing A
Clockwork Orange featured a huge cast of promising young
actors, particularly Plano native Brian
J. Smith, now off to complete his acting studies at
Juilliard.
Collin's dynamic artistic director, Brad
Baker, has earned a national rep as a teacher, director
and writer (he penned the Clockwork script).
Quad C's new
season starts out with a bang October 2 with Assassins,
the controversial Stephen Sondheim musical. Also on the season
lineup are a trilogy of Horton Foote plays and a production of
Neil LaBute's latest, The Shape of Things.
