Mission

The goal of the Off Broadway Children’s Theatre is to expose children to the wonders of theatre both as audience and participants. We are dedicated to producing quality children's theatre, performed by children, for an inexpensive cost. Children who participate and/or behind the stage learn about art, music, theatre, and most importantly, teamwork. Our programs develop creativity, self-expression and social consciousness through acting, singing, dancing and comedy. We inspire performers to discover their own unique voice while building valuable skills that extend to all facets of life. Self-discipline and joy are encouraged! The Off Broadway Children’s Theatre is a theatre that provides training and performances for the entire community.

 

Our Guiding Principles

• We recognize the value of artistic expression and social interaction.
• We place priority on the highest professional standards in all areas of production.
• We provide a positive environment in which young people can learn team work and communication skills and build self-esteem.
• Our programs give children of all ages an opportunity to work together and learn from each other.
