THE CHAPPELL PLAYERS THEATRE GROUP AT ST. JOHN's UNIVERSITY
Originally named the Dramatic Society, the St. John's University Chappell Players Theatre Group (CPTG) has been the premiere theatre organization for St. John's University since the 1930's. The CPTG is committed to the learning and development of all persons involved in the art of theater. These experiences are extended to the roles of actor, backstage worker, writer, designer, director, and audience member.
Students participating in CPTG are offered diverse theater experiences and opportunities to contribute and participate in a growing repertoire of professional as well as original student written and directed pieces. CPTG regularly works in conjunction with Alpha Psi Omega, the National Theater Honor Society.
Under the artistic direction of theatre professionals Nicholas J. Caccavo, Jr. and Samantha Tella, CPTG has staged numerous productions including Rent, Grease, Little Shop of Horrors, Arsenic and Old Lace, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Damn Yankees, Godspell, and Pippin, just to name a few.
The Chappell Players stage four mainstage productions per school year including a musical, cabaret for charity, children's show, and straight play.
