Cottage Theatre

Cottage Grove Community Theatre Since 1982

Cottage Theatre has produced a year-round season of plays and musicals in Cottage Grove since 1982, with summer camps for kids alongside its mainstage season serving the South Eugene region.

Summer Camps and Mainstage Opportunities

Programming centers on the mainstage season with summer camps as the primary kids-focused offering. Programs include:
- Summer theatre camps for children
- Audition opportunities for youth roles in mainstage productions
- Community theatre workshops
- Family-friendly production scheduling

What's Included

• Dedicated theatre building at 700 Village Drive
• 40+ years of community theatre tradition
• Year-round production season with shows for varied audiences
• Volunteer-driven model that gets kids into multiple roles (acting, tech, front-of-house)

Experience

The small-community-theatre setting (Cottage Grove is much smaller than Eugene proper) gives kids more access to roles than competitive Eugene-proper organizations. Volunteer-heavy operation means students often take on multiple production duties in a single show, which builds well-rounded experience.
