A world premiere starts somewhere.

For THE YOU KIND OF KIND, it starts here!

The first workshop of this brand-new musical takes place September 13–16. Over four days, the creators will try out the first version of the show with a group of local artists, then spend the next several months shaping, rewriting, and developing it before rehearsals officially begin.

We’re very excited to welcome Eric Ulloa, Caleb Damschroder, and Nina West to CCT for this first big step in the life of the show!

Stay tuned for more updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and sneak peeks throughout the week!

A little peek inside the world of BATTLE OF THE BOOKS. 📚

Our costume design is pulling from real students, lived-in layers, thrifted textures, school-day practicality, and just enough individuality to tell you who these characters are before they even say a word.

These are some of the images helping shape that world, as imagined by Costume Designer Samantha Schwartz.

Based on the clothes alone, who do you think is taking this competition the most seriously? Drop a comment below and then come see how these designs come to life on stage!
