Introducing Our New Shop Manager & Alice in Wonderland Scenic Designer

Kris Cadieux is about to begin his first summer with CMT. He will be set designing Alice in Wonderland, building the sets for the three shows, and teaching students in the new Technical Theater Internship Program. For the past year and a half Kris has been working for Clovis Unified School District as the Scenic Designer/Artist of the Dan Pessano Black Box Theater in the Performing Arts Center.

His most recent show was Clovis West High School's Noises Off. Kris has his B.A. in Theater Arts from CSU Fresno, where he designed his first show as a student designer for Intimate Apparel. He is most excited to work with the student interns as they get a chance to expand their talent and discover more of what makes the magic of theater.

Watch for the backstage info on CMT's Summer Stage Managers Tracy Jones and Jeff Vogt!

News About Ticket Prices at CMT

Tickets at CMT have been the same for the past five years. We are not changing those prices this year but will be adding a per ticket fee on all tickets - starting this summer.  We have contracted with Vision One/Showare Tickets in order to ensure the security and safety of on-line and credit card purchases, to expand our marketing possibilities, and to handle ticket sales more efficiently. The City of Fresno Parks and Recreation Department has requested that a fee be added  for the maintenance and restoration of the "Memorial Auditorium"  The combined fees will be $3 .00 for all online ticket sales and $2.00 for box office sales - the fee will be added for all types of payment - cash/check/credit card.
 
We know that though we are not collecting more money for ticket sales it will still be costing our audience more. This summer we will increase our group and discount ticket plans to help offset the increase.
 
Please understand that this was necessary - and will ensure our being able to continue what is an incredibly valuable theater program for our community.
 
See you at our shows this summer!!
