Awesome experience! If you are doing this, definitely do the playhouse series. Your toddler would really enjoy it.

★★★★★Andrea Lopez

Lovely theater for kids! School field trip to see Good Night Moon brought to life. Definitely will come back for others children's plays.

Our children have been with this fantastic organization and its lovely community since 2020. Kids are always happy to get involved no matter it’s learning, performing or volunteering. Staff are professional, excellent and caring. It has been an honor to be able to get involved and support the Children’s Theatre! ❤️

A treasure of a theatre. Very creative productions. A good learning experience for children to get interested in the arts. They also have classes for children.
