About Chicago Children's Theatre

Since its founding in 2005, Chicago Children’s Theatre has committed to creating world-class theatre for children and families. The company has earned critical acclaim for its innovative writing, directing, and performing, as well as its high-quality design and production expertise. In 2017, the theatre received the National Theatre Award from the American Theatre Wing, creators of the Tony Awards, making it the first theater for young audiences in the nation to receive such an honor. The theatre also produces The Red Kite Project, a multi-sensory interactive theatre program tailored to the needs of children on the autism spectrum.
