About the Show

Between the Lines is the new musical based on the novel by international bestselling author Jodi Picoult & Samantha van Leer, featuring a book by Picoult and Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach, The Big One-Oh!) and score by Elyssa Samsel & Kate Anderson (Apple TV+’s “Central Park”).

Between the Lines is an empowering and enchanting story for anyone who has struggled to find their place in the world. An outsider in a new town and a new school, Delilah seeks comfort in the pages of her favorite book, where she feels heard and understood by the handsome Prince Oliver. But as the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur in extraordinary ways, Delilah realizes her dreams in the real world are worth fighting for.

What our community is saying about us…

Highly recommend

The whole production is fabulous.  My kids love being in your plays and can’t wait until the next one.  I highly recommend CKP to anyone who is looking for a highly organized, fun and creative experience for their child.  My favorite part of the program for my children is that they get to exercise their drama muscle in a positive way and you take care of all the stress.  I love seeing my kids participating on stage and having fun.  I don’t know how you can improve.
