From Rotarian Jon Smale's post to our club Facebook page:
Ryan French, (Managing Director) stopped by this week to talk about the Children's Theater Company (CTC). The CTC is the nations largest and most acclaimed theater for young people. It creates theater experiences for more than 200,00 people annually that educate , inspire and challenge audiences. The Children's Theater company is the only theater to win a special Tony Award for Outstanding Regional and the only theater in MN to receive 3 Tony nominations (for it's production of A Year With Frog and Toad).
Performances feature professional actors alongside talented youth ensembles, delivering nuanced portrayals that balance humor and heart. The theater's commitment to diversity and inclusion is evident in its programming and casting, presenting stories that reflect varied experiences and voices. Ticket pricing and family-friendly scheduling make it accessible, while volunteer and classroom partnerships deepen community ties.
the Children's Theatre Company offers consistently inspiring, thoughtful productions that cultivate a lifelong love of theater. It’s a cultural cornerstone for families seeking meaningful, entertaining experiences that spark imagination and conversation and lasting creative growth.
