Children’s Theatre Company
For over 50 years, Children's Theatre Company has been creating extraordinary theatre experiences that educate, challenge and inspire young people and the Twin Cities Community.
One of my favorite things about CTC is that they employ a full-time professional acting company. As regular audience members, we start to feel like these actors are friends and we love to see each new incarnation. As community members, we know we can count on CTC to keep great talent in our community by employing them full-time. It's really a winning combination. Get to know your favorites a little more here.
2017-2018 Season at Children's Theatre Company
Note: Gianna reviewed Balloonacy in the spring of 2014 and Anne reviewed How the Grinch Stole Christmas the following fall. While every season is unique, you can get a feel for these two productions now.
ACT Pass Program at Children's Theatre Company
CTC's ACT Pass Program is a needs-based scholarship program for tickets, classes, and camps. You can read more about Joy's experience with the ACT Pass Program here. Besides the ACT Pass program, CTC suggests other ways to save on tickets, including rush tickets and preview performances.
Theatre Arts Training at Children's Theatre
Besides children's productions, CTC also offers the Theatre Arts Training (TAT) Program. Gianna has shared her experience with TAT here; and Joy lists 10 benefits of theatre classes here.
Gianna has also interviewed Ellie McKay, the director of the TAT program. You can read that interview here.
