"Nashville Children's Theatre hosts amazing productions that speak to the heart, soul, and minds of children of all ages. We have always made use of the teaching materials that accompany every production that we attend because they are so well designed to help our students go deeper into the material and gain a deeper understanding of the individual production and theater attendance in general. We look forward to our visits every year."

Educator Previews
Each show in our season offers one preview performance on a Thursday evening at 6:30. That performance is our Educator Preview Event. Educators and a guest are welcome to attend this performance on us.
This FREE event includes a wine and cheese reception followed by a 45-minute workshop where NCT education staff members demonstrate lessons designed to explore some of the curricular connections of the production. This workshop qualifies for professional development hours in many districts, and is intended for adults only. The reception begins at 5:00 pm, and the workshop begins at 5:30 pm.
