We at CPP are always thinking about new programs that can utilize the amazing vehicle of theatre to reach more of our valleys youth with lessons and growth experiences that are unique to this medium. To date, such programs have fallen into the categories of Partnership Programs, Workshops, Special Events and our on-going Holiday Touring Show.

Over the years, these programs have taken on a variety of forms, including:
PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS
- On-campus programs working at individual schools during the school day to prepare and perform a production. In some instances a single class of students are the participants, in others children from across grades have participated.
- After-school programs where multiple schools partnered with CPP to provide an activity for their students to participate in and learn along the way.
- Joint ventures with other non-profits (including Martha's Village & Kitchen) to provide their members with the opportunity to learn and grow through theatre.
- GATE Student summer drama program in conjunction with Coachella Valley School District schools.
