Chelsea Area Players formed in 1972 as a volunteer community theatre in Chelsea. Its youth wing, CAP Youth Theatre (also called CAP Jr), is for kids in grades 3-8. Each year brings junior shows, a winter murder-mystery dinner theatre and a summer musical. For 2027 the company has announced Murder on the Menu and Mary Poppins. There's no fixed theatre; the venue changes from show to show.
