Nonprofit volunteer-run children's theatre organization (based at Rotterdam Square/ViaPort) that brings live theatre to local children. Its summer camps for grades 3-8 focus on puppetry - puppet creation, manipulation and storytelling - alongside theatre games, singing and dancing, culminating in a final-week performance for family and friends.

★★★★★Kathy MixWe just went through the Haunted House and it was great fun. They have a kid friendly one (that we went to) and a scary one for adults. Every year it's different and worth the trip. Via Port in Rotterdam.
★★★★★Pastor John MurrayThis is an awesome theater program for children and youth. The theater is currently running events and camps throughout the year. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable in their area of expertise. Programs have different focuses from traditional theater to video. Highly recommend.
★★★★★Lisa KubanThe summer camp program is fantastic! Our daughter has grown as an individual in confidence and poise. A welcoming group to all!
★★★Yaboi 2kThe acting is great ❤️ 👍 I love the Plays and the shows, dose need some more improvement in the acting props used during plays.
★★★★★AliThe acting among the cast is amazing; with engaging and easy-to-follow scripts, shows that can keep any audience entertained, and the occasional, hilarious improv scenes--this is the place for any young actors looking to preform for audiences, or just a wonderful place to stop by and admire the work of talented minds. It's wonderful to relax and support the work of these creators, and the stories they create and act out are perfect to watch. It's impossible not to like this place, and I would highly recommend seeing a show or more.
