In the Coop Productions is a fully teen-run theater company where young artists take the lead at every stage of the creative process. From directing and staging to acting, design, and production management, our shows are imagined and executed by teens who are passionate about storytelling and collaboration. We believe that giving young people real artistic responsibility builds confidence, leadership, and a deeper understanding of theater as both an art form and a craft.
By empowering teens to make bold creative choices and learn through hands-on experience, In the Coop Productions creates a supportive, inclusive environment where artists can grow, take risks, and develop their unique voices. Adult mentors may support behind the scenes, but the vision, execution, and energy of each production come directly from the teens themselves.
MEET OUR TEAM
Kyra Cooper
Founder/Director
HI HEY HELLO! I'm Kyra and I am so so SO honored to be the founder of ITCP! I am one of the biggest theater fans ever and I am so happy to have been able to achieve one of my biggest dreams ever; creating my own theater company. Back in 8th grade I wrote my first full length musical and I knew that one day I would have my own company. I l love doing theater and have been in 31 shows! I also do publicity, vocal direct, and act for ITCP. I am so thankful to be able to work with so many amazing, supportive people who I am very proud of. ITCP4EVER

Description:
When a Baker and his Wife learn they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, they embark on a quest into the enchanted forest to gather four mystical items. Along the way, their path crosses with Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel, each pursuing their own deepest desires. But once their wishes are granted, the community must come together to face the real-world consequences of their actions. Featuring Sondheim’s brilliant score and Lapine’s witty book, Into the Woods is a timeless musical comedy about the journeys we take and the lessons we pass along.
