Summer Community Theatre

2026 Frozen: The Broadway Musical

Theatre for the whole family!

This summer CPT brings you a brand new opportunity for kids, teens, and adults! We’re doing a full-scale production of Disney’s Frozen: The Broadway Musical

Kids, parents, grandparents, CPT alumni, college students, and teens–you are all invited to CPT’s first Summer Community Theatre production!

How will it work?

AUDITIONS for ages 13 and up will be held the week of June 1 (stay tuned for date and time). Girls ages 8-12 who would like to audition for the part of Young Anna or Young Elsa may sign up for an audition slot.

REHEARSALS will be held four evenings a week (cast may not be called every rehearsal) in June and July, with rehearsals every evening during show week (July 12-18).

PRODUCTION SETS, COSTUMES, PROPS. CPT Summer Community Theatre is a family experience. Cast members and/or their families are asked to participate in helping with our production sets, costumes, and/or props. We’ll have opportunities to contribute to this effort in scheduled workdays and also through at-home projects. We also welcome community volunteers.

KIDS ages 8-12 who would like to be in CPT’s Summer Community Theatre Frozen: The Broadway Musical will register and participate in CPT’s Kids Show Camp (July 6-10). 

This Frozen-themed camp is designed to prepare our youngest performers for their roles in our Summer Community Theatre production of Frozen. Show camp kids will be divided into two ensembles and each group will perform in two of the four shows.

All children enrolled in the Kids SHOW Camp will:

  • Be cast in the show 
  • Rehearse in a fun, age-appropriate environment
  • Attend tech-week rehearsals the week of July 12

Each cast member will pay a production fee; Kids Show Campers will pay a camp registration fee in lieu of their production fee.

Synopsis

For the first time in forever, experience the musical phenomenon that has taken the world by storm! Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, Disney’s Frozen includes all the film’s beloved songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with new music written exclusively for the stage.

In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.

Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.

Redemptive Love

In Frozen: The Broadway Musical, love is not merely an emotion. It is a redemptive force. Fear, secrecy, and isolation fracture relationships and freeze hearts, but love restores what has been broken. Elsa’s fear of harming others causes her to withdraw, unintentionally bringing destruction to her kingdom. Anna’s response, however, is not condemnation or control, but pursuit, sacrifice, and grace.

Redemption in Frozen comes not through power, perfection, or self-reliance, but through self-giving love. Anna’s willingness to lay down her own life for her sister becomes the act that breaks the curse, just as Christ’s sacrifice of Himself for the His people breaks the curse of sin that entraps each of us. 

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

The Apostle Paul tells us, “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). In the same way as Christ, Anna sacrificially loves her sister before Elsa has everything figured out. Elsa cannot save herself alone. Anna loves her not because Elsa has overcome her own icy heart, but so that her sacrifice can bring the healing that Elsa’s heart needs. Like Elsa, our hearts are hard and frozen until Christ redeems us and gives us new hearts.

Finally, Frozen reminds us that Christ’s redemption leads to freedom. Once fear is broken by love, Elsa is no longer bound by shame or isolation. She is free to live fully as she was created to be. As Scripture affirms, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1). The power of Christ does not only forgive our sin — it restores identity, reconciles relationships, and releases us into freedom.

At its heart, Frozen proclaims a truth that is fully realized in Jesus Christ:
love redeems, love restores, and love transforms.

Is there a way for someone who doesn’t want to be on stage to participate?

Yes, we’d love to have people help us with creating our sets, costumes, props, as well volunteering to help backstage, with tech, and many other ways.  See our Community Volunteer page and form HERE.

Are auditions open or closed?

Auditions will be closed, meaning only the directors, show staff, and the auditioners in groups of 10-12 will be in the room.  Callbacks are closed; only those called are allowed to attend.

What assurances do you have for a parent who is nervous about their child’s participation with adult community members?

It is our policy that there are never two people alone together in a room or an unobservable place.  If a director needs to work with a minor, they will always ask another person to join them. This is called the Rule of 3 and will be maintained by all participants, regardless of age, gender, or role within CPT.

All participants age 18 or older are asked to submit to a background check and must agree to abide by our Statement of Faith, our Policies of Conduct, and our Mission, Vision, and Values.

Our CPT staff and directors have undergone Ministry Safe training to recognize and watch for predatory behavior. Additional trusted adults will monitor our rehearsals and backstage areas.  Any concerns should be reported immediately to CPT staff or directors.
