Community Commitment

We believe that ALL children have a right to grow through quality arts experiences. That’s why we partner with organizations across Middle Tennessee to bring transformative theatre to kids right in their schools and communities.

“All in all the play was a magical experience for both my students and even for an older kid who forgot to believe.”

Teacher

Teacher who brought class to see Peter Pan: Wendy's Adventure to Neverland

“Other than the theater's consistent originality, my favorite thing about going to shows at Nashville Children's Theatre as a parent is looking around at all the kids during the show. Looking around and seeing every kid's unblinking face, utterly fixated on what's happening in front of them is worth the price of admission and then some.”

Michael Aldrich

Nashville Parent

“Throughout its long, venerated history, Nashville Children's Theatre has broken barriers and set the standard for excellence in theater for younger audience and its latest production... proves no less challenging than anything that has come before it.”
