Curtain Call Productions (CCP) is a community theatre club at the University of Guelph, striving to put on professional-quality shows and to create memorable experiences. Curtain Call Productions is a registered club under the Central Student Association at the University of Guelph. Our purpose is to provide an opportunity for the community of the University of Guelph and Wellington County to develop their artistic talent through musical theatre and by doing so foster or enhance an appreciation for the arts. CCP began as a student company in 1957 as part of College Royal festivities. The company performed plays, much like a variety show. The plays were self written and based on events that occurred on campus, or spoofs of everyday campus life. The company is now funded independently through donations, membership fees, and fundraising efforts both on and off-campus. CCP membership is comprised of the board of directors, executive board, cast, orchestra, and crew. In 1993, CCP decided to try their hand at a full Broadway musical production with the generous financial help of College Royal and other academic colleges at the University. From there, CCP has grown in size and in stature making performances bigger and better while still being a full student-run volunteer production company. Past musical productions include: Grease, West Side Story, City of Angels, Jesus Christ Superstar, Hair, Fame, Tommy, A Chorus Line, Crazy For You, Guys and Dolls, Annie Get Your Gun, Cabaret, Chess, and Once Upon a Mattress. For their 50th Anniversary in 2007, Curtain Call was proud to present Urinetown: The Musical, followed by Zombie Prom: The Musical!, FAME!, Reefer Madness, Jekyll & Hyde: the Musical, RENT!, Cabaret and The Drowsy Chaperone. In 2015 they followed with the exciting Spring Awakening. For our 2016 season we staged Legally Blonde: The Musical to great success and critical acclaim, and continued with Heathers: The Musical for our 2017 season.
