Children's Theatre of Portland  was founded by the Junior League of Portland in 1923, making it the oldest continuously operating children's theatre in the United States.  Today, it exists to inspire discovery and imagination through exploration and play.  The Museum & Theatre serves as an indispensable resource for families and educators, helping to create a broad community devoted to our children's development and learning.  CMTM produces theatre for kids, by kids, in the Dress-Up Theatre. There are opportunities for young audiences to see a show and young actors to develop their skills.
