Directing kids’ shows since 1964, Director Ilene Moore continues to share her love of live theater, music and dance with the young people of Canyon Lake and surrounding communities. This summer, Ilene has been assisted by Jaimie and co-producer Heather Gotoski.

Canyon Lake Community Theatre puts together the annual summer production with the help of many adult and youth volunteers. “CLCT could not put on shows like this without the help of family members and other volunteers who work behind the scenes,” says Jaimie. The entire production team and benefactors will be listed in the program.
