ABOUT
The White Bear Lake Community Players Theatre is a theater company based out of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and is run in conjunction with the White Bear Lake Community Services and Recreation program and Lakeshore Players Theatre. They are comprised of teens and young adults of the greater Twin Cities metro area, ranging from ages 15 - 25. White Bear CPT specializes in musicals, and is open to all theater lovers- whether you're a seasoned performer or brand new to the stage! Shows are typically limited to summer performances, with rehearsals starting in late spring. The mission of White Bear Lake Community Players Theater is to empower students to take leadership roles and to provide a creative environment where everyone feels safe to make meaningful and fantastical art.
The White Bear Lake Community Players Theater was founded in 2017 by Patrick Timmons & Julito Cabrera with help from Wendy Souja, Corinne Steffens and Jeff Willey. We would like to thank the White Bear Lake Community Services and Recreation Department for their continued funding and support, with special thanks to Tracy Cook and Tim Maurer.
Our 2019 Production Team
JULITO CABRERA
Director
Director at White Bear Lake Community Players Theater, Julito graduated from White Bear Lake High School in 2017 (the same year White Bear CPT was established) and is incredibly excited to be co-directing again this year. Prior to directing at White Bear CPT, Julito volunteered for 5 years as a junior director for the White Bear Lake Middle School musicals. Julito is currently studying generals at Century College in White Bear Lake, MN.
BEN KROLL
Vocal Director
Ben is a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire, majoring in Music as a Bachelor of Arts in Music. He has been in several music shows, and is very excited to be part of the director’s staff, and excited to bring to light the not-too-subtle Shakespearian satire that is involved with the show. When he is not messing around with the cast while trying to teach music, he can be found sucking at video games, whistling, singing under my breath like a weirdo, or making his house dirty by not picking up his clothes. This is Ben's first year with WBLCPT.
SARAH NELSON
Choreographer
Sarah attended the University of Minnesota and received a Bachelor of Individual Studies in Theatre Arts, Youth Studies, and Communication with a minor in Social Justice. She is excited to choreograph for some of her favorite Elvis tunes!
JORDYN RODRIGUEZ
Stage Manager
Jordyn is very excited to help with this awesome program! Jordyn is currently a student at White Bear Lake High School, and this is her second time stage managing, having previously stage managed the play "Letters & Coffee". She would like to thank Corinne and Julito for the opportunity. She would also like to thank her parents for their support and the cast for their welcoming attitude.
