Financial Aid Opportunities
CTL is a place for everyone. If interested in being considered for a scholarship to help offset the cost of classes, please fill out the Scholarship Request Form found HERE! Financial aid, in the form of tuition assistance grants, is awarded to deserving students to partially off-set the costs of attending. Financial Aid is available on a limited basis; therefore, applicants must demonstrate a clear financial need and a strong desire to participate in the after-school program.  The questions asked in this application are designed to help the CTL staff understand the family situation and financial position, and to make certain that assistance is awarded to students whose need is greatest.  The information you provide in this application is considered strictly confidential. All decisions regarding financial assistance are made by the Educational Coordinator and CTL Executive staff.

While reasonable considerations will be made to accommodate the needs of each student. Community Theatre League reserves the right to reconsider enrollment or send a student home should issues require support beyond the capabilities of the CAST staf

In the kids show, “The Buddy System Show”, Buddy has invited all of his friends over for an “I Don’t Care” party and sibling rivalry takes centerstage in the game show, “How Silly Can You Get?”. A crazy commercial for “Gross Foods Toaster Pastries” and the movie trailer for “Astro Wars – Will It Never End” divide the TV shows and add more laughs in this hilarious comedy for kids!
