Will Prater

  I started out in theater (or theatre) in High School, back in the 1990s. And I have always seen it as an escape, and life's only truth. Being full of emotions is a hard, full-time job and it is exhausting. Working in theater helps tremendously, TRUST. I (and everyone around me) can tell when I haven't been active in a while. And although I have retired from the stage and the process twice in my passion / career of 28 years, like Cher and Elton John, I can't walk away. it is who I am, my life blood. And other than my wife, my partner, and my kids, it is the most important thing to me. And so, I think, it will stay. CCT has been working (under different names) as a concept for over twenty years, and now is it's time to bloom and stay growing. Fingers crossed, may it (and I) become self-sustainable and prosperous while remaining true to the work, the theater, in all it's various forms.
