We have high respect and admiration for everyone working hard in the field and want to do everything possible to recognize those individuals and theatres involved in Theatre for Young Audiences. With that in mind, we need your help. We need to be notified of other theatres that we have not previously been aware of.
Throughout the next year, we have a new primary goal for which we need YOUR HELP! We would like to expand the resources linked to this page for children's theater publishers, playwrights, plays, literature, etc. We hope to develop a listing wherein authors, theaters, directors, and producers have a place to exchange dialogue.
These pages were originally developed by John Snowden-Van Valin and Michael Cotter, recent graduates of Northwestern University's Department of Theater. It is now maintained by Patrick Gagnon, a Northwestern senior. Please e-mail Patrick if you have information to contribute to the site.
Thank you, and welcome to the world of children's theatre...
A bit of history.
Use the
state by state listing of children's
theatres. Get information on internships, mission statements, etc. (note:
We'd love your help in adding more and more theatres, as there are hundreds
of theatres out there that we have not heard of. If you know of one,
please email us the address or any information you may have on it.)
