For 40 years, Caribbean Community Theatre (CCT) has been a vibrant force in St. Croix’s cultural landscape, bringing stories to life and connecting the community through the performing arts. From comedies that bring belly laughs to dramas that spark reflection and musicals that fill the air with song, CCT has enriched the island with more than 200 productions since 1985.
CCT’s history is one of resilience and creativity. Starting in a small space on Strand Street and now thriving in Estate Orange Grove, the theater has weathered hurricanes, the pandemic, and countless challenges while remaining a gathering place for artistry and collaboration. Alongside beloved classics like “Fences” and “Into the Woods,” CCT has proudly showcased local works such as “Liberated” and “Sarah & Addie,” amplifying the voices and stories of the Virgin Islands.
The theater also invests in future generations through the Calico Cat Company, its after-school program for children ages 7-12. Young participants develop acting, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, concluding each semester with a performance on the CCT stage. This dedication to nurturing creativity ensures the arts remain a cornerstone of the St. Croix community.
