Tucker Stampen: The Tools You Need to Be Successful

"With their help, I've been able to do some pretty cool stuff. I've been a summer stock performer, assisted Broadway directors and choreographers, worked in Broadway casting offices. I've helped cast 16 Broadway shows, 22 National Tours, and a bunch of equity regional work... Capital City Theatre gives you all of the tools that you need to be successful in this industry. If you are part of the Find Your Light Program, you cover such an encompassing ground, in such a short period of time. ... they are doing amazing things already, but with your support, they can do so much more."

A Few More Words of Support

“Both CCT Artistic Director, Andrew Abrams and CCT Director of Education, Gail Becker have been exceptional mentors and teachers to my daughter. Their expertise and coaching have been influential in her progress, including her success as a National High School Music Theatre Awards finalist and her acceptance into one of the top Musical Theatre programs in the country. CCT programs make a difference by challenging young artists with advanced material, top notch training and mock auditions in front of highly-respected college program directors.”
