About the Theatre
At 107 years old, The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati (TCT) is the oldest professional theatre for young audiences in the country and the only professional theatre in the region that devotes its entire MainStage season to children. In Fall 2025, TCT completed a $51.5M Capital Campaign to restore and reimagine the historic Emery Theater in downtown Cincinnati. This theater is now the most technologically advanced theater in the country and is home to TCT’s MainStage productions. Considered one of the top children’s theatres in the nation, TCT’s mission is to educate, entertain, and engage audiences of all ages through professional theatrical productions and arts education programming. Our vision is to awaken a lifelong love of theatre in children and the young at heart. Today, The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati brings art to life through three key programs: TCT MainStage, TCT on Tour, and TCT Academy. Each season, TCT impacts more than 100,000 people in the Cincinnati region and beyond. For more information, visit www.thechildrenstheatre.com.Upcoming Shows
