After viewing a theatrical performance, your kids may come home singing about science, or become more inquisitive about history, or spend all evening discussing music.

By taking kids to theater early in their lives, they will see and experience one of life’s greatest cultural pleasures. When you connect kids to the arts, you connect them to emotions, people and the community. We are fortunate to have such a thriving performing arts culture in Southwest Florida.
