The Alpha 2 troupe (ages 8-12) is excited to bring this classic story to the stage!

Everybody loves the international bestseller and award-winning book, The Rainbow Fish, with its wonderful message of friendship and belonging. 

This musical features a variety of charming school and sea-creature characters who admire the famous Rainbow Fish, the most beautiful fish in all the ocean. When Rainbow Fish refuses to share her vibrant, shimmering scales (played by separate actors), the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature. Unhappy that no one adores him anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus, who helps the young fish learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.

Adapted from the book by Marcus Pfister, translated into English by J. Alison James, with illustrations by Marcus Pfister.

Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Denver, Colorado

Book, Music, and Lyrics by Austin Zumbro

Our Mission

The mission of Christian Fellowship Theater is to empower a generation of students by providing a safe place for them to grow in their gifts while enjoying the experience of theater. 

At the heart of Christian Fellowship Theater are three priorities: 

1. Our first priority is to operate as a Christian organization. We teach our students theatrical skills in an atmosphere where they are taught to glorify the Lord through excellence, both on and off the stage. This means that we seek out leaders who are following Christ, leaders who seek to honor God in their daily walk as they mentor our students.

2. Our second priority is to give our students a place to belong, a place to be safe, vulnerable, and compassionate. We fellowship together through worship, prayer, devotion time, drama games, and through our productions. Our desire is to create an atmosphere where relationships can be fostered as we grow together in Christ. 

3. Our final priority is theater, the means by which we accomplish our first two priorities. Stepping onto the stage to become a character stretches the faith of many of our students and witnessing this transformation blesses both the parents and the leaders of CFT. We strive for excellence, not perfection. We strive for personal growth for each student and an established team unity.
