Your local students
+ 2 Chicago actors
= an amazing musical in just one week!

Each year, thousands of students across the USA learn, play, and perform alongside two Chicago teaching artists.

Throughout their theatre week, students stretch their creativity and bravery muscles as they deepen their trust, respect, responsibility, 
​teamwork, and empathy.

Programs are available for students as young as 3K (Creative Play) up through 12th grade (Script Development and Performance).
We partner with:
​
  • schools and parent-teacher groups
  • churches
  • performing arts centers
  • community theatres
  • community centers
  • after-school programs
  • arts councils
  • ​city governments
  • park districts
  • and any organization that supports community kids!

If you know of an organization in your area that might be a great fit for a children's theatre week, we'd love to hear from you!
