P.L.A.Y. Theater Company = Performing Live Arts for Youth

We are a nonprofit performing arts organization focused on bringing the joy of theater to life for children and families. We believe theater kids really do run the world, and the life skills that theater provides have a resounding impact for future generations.  Igniting imaginations can change the world!

We accomplish this through play in the classroom, in the rehearsal room, and on the stage.

PLAY On Stage! offers a season of engaging, theatrical performances by professional actors, bringing children’s books to life on stage. We also offer exceptional educational programming, with performance based classes that build theater skills while also teaching essential life skills like teamwork, confidence, and empathy for others. We believe learning should be fun, and everyone is a theater person. Whether you enjoy being on the stage, behind the scenes, running the show, writing the stories we tell, or enjoying them from the audience, all are welcome at PLAY theater company.

Founded in October of 2023, this company was born out of a love for the arts and a commitment to investing in the future of performing arts by cultivating the audiences of tomorrow.
