Cookie Company
Alan Prewitt began the Cookie Company in 1980 to bring professional-level theatre to children and their families. CC is the first theatre in the Valley to consistently perform original works, some of them performed in Spanish. It was the first children's theatre to provide shadow-signed and audio reverse interrupted performances for deaf children. The Quiltmaker's Gift by Alan Prewitt is CC's yearly holiday performance. CC serves more than 35,000 cookies a year and more than 500 gallons of milk. That is approximately 980,000 cookies and 14,000 gallons of milk in Cookie Company's 28 years of performances. The Youth Theatregoers is CC's field-trip-to-the-theatre program which has continued for almost 25 years.

Famous quotes containing the words cookie and/or company:
“Living by basic good-mothering guidelines enables a mom to blend the responsibilities of parenthood with its joys; to know when to stand her ground and when to be flexible; and to absorb the lessons of the parenting gurus while also trusting her inner voice when it reasons that another cookie isn’t worth fighting over, or that her child won’t suffer irreparable trauma if, once in a while, Mom puts her own needs first.”
—Sue Woodman (20th century)
“... possibly there is no needful occupation which is wholly unbeautiful. The beauty of work depends upon the way we meet it—whether we arm ourselves each morning to attack it as an enemy that must be vanquished before night comes, or whether we open our eyes with the sunrise to welcome it as an approaching friend who will keep us delightful company all day, and who will make us feel, at evening, that the day was well worth its fatigues.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
