HISTORY
City Centre Musical Productions (CCMP) is a Mississauga based community theatre group. All members share a love of music, song and performance. We owe the continuing existence of CCMP to the enterprise and inspiration of two people. Both our Founder, Eleanor Calbes and our President Emeritus, husband Jack Thomson have been part of the Mississauga music scene for many years and CCMP since its inception.
Eleanor has had an illustrious career in both opera and Broadway productions. In 1985, Eleanor founded Mississauga’s first opera company, Mississauga City Centre Opera. From it’s origins as an opera company, Calbes Voice Studio (CVS) was founded as a family orientated workshop for musical theatre. When Meadowvale Theatre first opened its doors in 1989, CVS’s first production there was The Sound of Music. During these years the group performed concerts in the spring and at Christmas, along with a full musical production in August. Eleanor was also instrumental in starting the CVS Scholarship in which young singers up to the age of 19 compete in three age categories for monetary awards to be used to further their studies.
In 1995, the Board agreed to incorporate CVS and received its Charitable designation under the new name of CVS Musical Productions. At the time, Music Theatre Mississauga (MTM) was the marketing arm for three other community theatre groups that performed musical productions within a subscription series called THE ENCORE SERIES over the fall/winter months. A merger with MTM in 2001 was the next natural step in CCMP’s evolution when we performed Oklahoma. By 2004, My Fair Lady represented our fourth production under the MTM ENCORE SERIES banner and we benefited from a show that ended up playing to an almost sold out house with 93% in attendance. In 1999, the Board voted to change the group’s name once again, to City Centre Musical Productions Inc. (CCMP) to reflect its growth within the Mississauga community. CCMP continues to expand their horizons and grow year over year while encompassing the tenets of the company which were laid down by Eleanor and Jack 17 years ago. Such are the basis of our success year to date. CCMP is a member of The Mississauga Arts Council, Mississauga Recreation and Parks, Theatre Ontario, Theatre Alliance and Music Theatre Mississauga.
