CEDARBURG CULTURAL CENTER
Introducing Cedar Creek Players –
Ozaukee’s New Local Theater Company
The Cedarburg Cultural Center is excited to announce the launch of Cedar Creek Players, a brand-new community theater company based in Cedarburg. Founded with a passion for storytelling and a commitment for creativity, connection, and community, Cedar Creek Players will bring engaging, high-quality theatrical productions to the heart of Ozaukee County.
Our mission is to create a welcoming space where local talent can shine – on stage and behind the scenes – and where audiences of all ages can experience the magic of a live performance. Whether you’re a seasoned performer, a behind-the-scenes enthusiast, or someone who simply loves a good story, we invite you to be part of our journey.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll make our debut this Spring with the beloved American classic, Our Town, by Thornton Wilder. Set in the fictional town of Grover’s Corners, Our Town captures the simple beauty of everyday life, the power of human connection, and the passage of time – themes that resonate deeply with the charming city of Cedarburg. Like Grover’s Corners, Cedarburg is a place where neighbors know each other, where history lives on every street corner, and where community is at the heart of it all.
Cedar Creek Players will be led by award winning writer, theater producer and director, and filmmaker Graham Killeen, who will direct and produce the show. Audition details and performance dates and times coming soon.
Let’s raise the curtain together – Cedar Creek Players is ready to take the stage!
