Welcome
to the Chequamegon Children's Theater
Website
In 1986, while Jeanne Larson, Cable, was driving back from
the Twin Cities with her 13-year old daughter, Jamila and
her friend, Eliza Wright, the girls lamented about city
kids having so many opportunities. "It's not fair!" They'd
just seen a performance of the Children's Theater Company
of Minneapolis. After the show, the cast invited those
interested in auditioning for future productions to come on
stage. The girls were ready to sign up, momentarily
forgetting that they lived 4 hours away. On the long drive
home, Jeanne suggested they start up a children's theater
in their own community. But first they needed a director.
She remembered there was an actress in California, Rosina
Reynolds, who lived in the Cable area during the summer
managing a resort with her husband. Would she be willing to
direct? With much planning, their dream turned into
reality. The next summer 29 children performed "Pinocchio"
at the Cable School. That was just the beginning! The
Chequamegon Children's Theater was established in 1987 and
was incorperated as non-profit in 1997. This makes all
donations tax deductible.
