The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati

The Children's Theatre of Cincinnati

The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati is the oldest children’s theatre in the country (and is the only professional theater in the region that devotes its entire MainStage season to children).  We bring 105,000 people downtown annually.  We reach over 70,000 students through our TCT on Tour productions, and TCT Academy offers arts training to children in a variety of disciplines. We are creating the arts patrons and performers of our city’s future.

Our TCT MainStage at the Taft series includes daytime performances for school audiences and weekend performances for the public.  Four Broadway-quality production runs are held each year (of which one is a world-premiere musical), with individual shows formatted into one-hour, family-friendly events. For each production, we present seven performances for public audiences and ten performances for school students, including one special sensory-friendly performance for select shows.

TCT on Tour brings the magic of live theatre directly to those who would otherwise be unable to enjoy it. We typically tour six productions each season, serving children of all ages with titles taken from classic literature, fairy tales, history and other works studied in school curricula. The acting troupe travels with innovative sets, which are designed to be both portable and visually enticing. TCT on Tour prides itself on productions that are educational and entertaining, as well as affordable for schools and other venues across the broad geographic spectrum of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and beyond.

TCT on Tour includes the WorkShop division, which takes a teaching artist directly into individual classrooms or after school programs, for a more interactive arts integration experience.  WorkShops we offer examine contemporary concerns through the introduction of historical figures, such as The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Harriet Tubman; while other WorkShops bring social topics such as healthy eating, self-esteem and anti-bullying to life through theatre, music, writing and role-playing.

TCT Academy offers arts training to children in a variety of disciplines through our 14-week, one hour/week class sessions, our one-week themed summer camps for introductory arts makers or our audition-based, three-week STAR Camp Red Bank program and one-month, audition-based STAR Intensive NKU summer program for children with demonstrated talent and interest in the performing arts.

(CANCELED) TCT On Tour Presents: DOROTHY IN OZ

Program description

Bring The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s touring division, TCT On Tour, to your school!

Join this adventurous young lady as she takes audiences down the Yellow Brick Road to find out why a lion, a scarecrow and a man made of tin are all singing the blues. On this adventure our heroine, Dorothy, must find a way home and in the process, she must help her new friends unlock their full potential. Dorothy in Oz is an adaptation of the popular Frisch Marionettes’ production Wizard of Oz, based on L. Frank Baum’s children’s novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

By Kevin Frisch. Adapted by The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati.

This show is ideal for children in grades K-5, with a question-and-answer session with the cast after the show.
