  <infoNode textTitle="Challenging" textBody="In 2005, CTC completed a 45,000 square foot expansion of its facility, designed by Michael Graves, which includes the Cargill Stage, a flexible 300-seat performance venue with programming intended primarily for teenagers.  The venue has allowed staging that has made the audience feel they are in places such as a fashion show, a high school prom, and a Sudanese refugee camp.  Actors, designers, and audience members continually give praise for one of the best performance venues in the Twin Cities."/>
  <infoNode textTitle="Exciting" textBody="Ctc4teens programming features productions that address issues relevant to today's teenagers.  Ctc4teens performances are some of the most daring productions in the Midwest featuring unique staging and costuming, audience participation, and multimedia experimentation.  The daring productions on the Cargill Stage helped CTC earn the City Pages 2007 Best of the Twin Cities Award for 'Best Theatre for Drama'.  Each production is more than a mere play, it is an experience unlike any other."/>
