Chicago Children’s Theatre is thrilled to celebrate two decades of storytelling with our 20th Anniversary Season! Join us as we mark 20 years in the making with a lineup of unforgettable productions for young audiences and families. Our shows welcome all ages—from toddlers to teens—though some performances are especially designed for specific age ranges, noted below. As always, you know your children best, and we trust your judgment when choosing the right experience for your family.
