Overview
Founded in 2013 as a community theatre initiative, CK Theatricals has soared to new heights over the past decade, evolving into a reputable professional theatre company. We pride ourselves on producing outstanding theatrical experiences that captivate audiences of all ages. With our passion for telling compelling stories, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation.

A Journey of Growth
CK Theatricals embarked on its thrilling journey with the aim of providing a platform for local artists and performers to showcase their talent, while fostering a sense of community engagement. It all began with a single idea and a group of passionate individuals dedicated to the transformative power of live theatre.
In 2018, we took a significant leap forward by transitioning from a solely community-based theatre into a professional production company. This expansion allowed us to attract a diverse pool of talented artists, including actors, directors, designers, and crew members, all driven by a shared commitment to excellence.
