About Us

Capital Theatre On Ice (CTOI) is a US Figure Skating Theatre On Ice team representing the Washington Figure Skating Club. The CTOI program was started in Summer 2013 at the Ashburn Ice House by Coach Kitty Kelly McGorry.

We currently have skaters at the Learn to Skate USA (Beginner), Preliminary, Juvenile, Intermediate, Novice, Senior, and Adult levels. We also have our CTOI Performance Team: a troupe performing a full show and at different events and venues throughout the DC area.

Our Teams

During our 2023-2024 season we took home four National medals; two Bronze medals at the Preliminary and Senior levels, and two Pewter medals at the Juvenile and Intermediate levels.

In addition to competing at Nationals and in local competitions, we have performed in holiday events and special ice shows around DC area to support organizations such as the American Cancer Society, mental health, and the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Info & Support Us

Theatre On Ice (TOI) is a form of figure skating combining the grace of figure skating with the excitement of theatre and dance. Known as “Ballet on Ice” in Europe, TOI teams consist of eight to 24 skaters on the ice telling a story together. TOI brings skaters together giving athletes the chance to be a part of a team, travel locally and internationally and make new friends.

Skaters Shout Out

"I watched CTOI and loved the relationship that all the skaters had with each other. I started skating in the CTOI summer camp, and I remember struggling to get halfway across the width of the ice. But that first role as Oaken, the Frozen shop owner, is still one of my favorite roles. I love the organization and am so glad I started."

"A few years ago I didn't know what to do with my skating and I wanted to be part of a team, so when I found TOI I almost immediately felt part of the skating family. It's been an amazing experience and I've made lots of great friends, I can't wait to see what comes next!"

"I've been skating with CTOI for several years and even when I was a beginner skater, I was immediately welcomed into the CTOI family. I love the memories we've created and look forward to creating new ones."

"Being a part of the CTOI team is like being a part of a family, with the best support system I’ve ever had."

"I started skating with CTOI in 2016 on the Preliminary team and we got 3rd place at Nationals. 6 years later, I've become an Intermediate TOI National Champion, advanced to the Novice team, and even been able to coach and choreograph groups of my own for summer camps and the 2022 Holiday production of Elf!"

CTOI is fun and a great way for me to make friends! My closest friends are from CTOI. We spend a lot of time on the ice, in performances, and traveling together. Our parents do too! We have fun and learn from each other. Working together to tell a story through skating and expressions is great, but the fun and friendships are the best part!

Performance Teams

Performance teams bring together skaters of every skill level for an hour-long performance. Shows are great introductions to new skaters to TOI without the cost or time commitment of a competitive team.

Our next show will be in May with skills classes in January and practices beginning in February.

Performances

Take part in team shows to tell a complete story in two acts and multiple scenes. Incredible team experience through a complete production. This is like taking part in a full-length drama musical.

All ages and all levels allowed. No moves in the field tests needed. We put on shows for all levels in May and August.
