Children’s Theatre Company: A Tony-Winning Stage for Young Hearts

The Children’s Theatre Company of Minneapolis makes a bold claim and backs it up: it is the finest theatre for young audiences in America — the first children’s theatre ever to win the Regional Theatre Tony Award. From its home beside Mia, CTC stages productions of Broadway scale and sophistication that happen to be for kids.

World premieres of beloved books, dazzling design, and casts mixing professional actors with trained young performers define the CTC experience. Its education programs — from toddler story-drama to the Institute for older students — train thousands, while sensory-friendly and ASL performances open the magic to every child.

Adults leave CTC shows as converted as the kids. This is “children’s theatre” the way Pixar is “kids’ movies” — art for everyone, aimed at the young.
