With two shows each summer, the Children’s Theatre Festival presents classic storybook tales and world premiere musicals. Each summer thousands of families enjoy live, wholesome theatre; many for the first time. It’s the perfect activity for young and old!

Recent premieres have included the musicals The Princess Who Could Not Be Heard, Danny and the Dragon, The New Adventures of Pinocchio, The Land of Broken Toys, and Brandon Finds His Star written by Broadway composer/lyricist, Jerry Bock and UH faculty member Sidney Berger.
