Originally named the Dramatic Society, the Chappell Players
Theater Group has been the theater organization for St. John's
since the 1930's. The CPTG is committed to the learning and
development of all persons involved in the art of
theater. They extend these experiences to the roles of actor,
backstage worker, writer, designer, director and audience
member. The organization believes the quality of their work
leads to fulfillment and a deeper understanding of the art itself.
They pride themselves on their diversity of work and the
outstanding opportunities that new artists receive through a
growing repertoire of student directed and written
pieces. Often times, CPTG works in conjunction with Alpha Psi
Omega, the National Theater Honor Society.
In the past it has staged, Grease, Little Shop of
Horrors, Arsenic and Old Lace, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Damn
Yankees, Godspell and Pippin, just to name a
few.
Meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month during
Common Hour in the Little Theater.
