Donate to Columbus Children's Theatre in Columbus

This Giving Tuesday, help us keep the magic alive.

For generations, Columbus Children’s Theatre has been where theatre begins — where young imaginations ignite, lifelong passions take root, and the arts become a bridge to understanding and empowerment. From first-time performers to seasoned audiences, our work sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and transforms lives across Central Ohio.

Your gift ensures every child has access to the wonder of live theatre — regardless of background or ability to pay. Together, we can continue creating experiences that inspire, educate, and connect our community through the power of storytelling.

✨ This Giving Tuesday, give the gift of imagination. Give the gift of theatre.

We are Columbus Children’s Theatre.

For generations, we’ve been the first introduction to theatre for thousands of children across Central Ohio: sparking curiosity, inspiring imagination, and building a lifelong love of the arts. Today, we are proud to be a theatre company producing work of the highest caliber for audiences of all ages. Our seasons blend enrichment for young audiences, family-friendly shows, cutting-edge new work, and large-scale productions that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best in Columbus.

Our mission is bigger than entertainment. We create theatre that empowers, educates, and transform, offering training that launches careers, programming that breaks down barriers to access, and experiences that challenge what theatre can be. Whether you’re watching your child step onstage for the first time, joining us for an immersive adventure, or seeking top-tier theatre as a lifelong arts lover:
