JUST ANNOUNCED!

Children's Theater Series

Just $44 for all 4 shows—only $11 per ticket!

Looking for magical memories with your child or grandchild? You’ve found the perfect ticket. Our Children’s Theater Series brings four enchanting, kid-approved shows to the stage—each packed with music, laughter, and life lessons.

This year’s lineup blasts off with a musical journey through space with The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System, celebrates culture and family in Sugar Skull: A Día de Muertos Musical Adventure, and reimagines favorite fairy tales with heart in Billy Goats Gruff & Other Tales. We’ll wrap up the season with a modern twist on a classic fable in The Adventure of Tortoise & the Hare: The Next Gen.

And with every show at just about an hour long, they are the perfect length for young attention spans (and grown-up schedules).

WHERE DO WE EAT?

Concession stands in the theaters feature various food items. The Playhouse Square District also has many unique dining options surrounding the theaters on Euclid Avenue. Learn more here.

CAN I BUY GROUP TICKETS?

Yes, group tickets for the Children's Theater Series can be purchased by calling Moira Beale at 216-640-8608.

DO I HAVE TO BUY ALL FOUR SHOWS?

Purchasing season tickets (all four shows at once) offers savings over buying individual tickets; however, tickets for individual shows will be put on sale, pending availability.

WHERE DO WE STAY?

If you're visiting from out of town, welcome to Cleveland! Or, if you're just planning to make a weekend of it, consider staying at the Crowne Plaza Cleveland at Playhouse Square. It's located just steps and minutes away from the theater doors and valet parking is available.

What is your children's ticket policy for this series?

At Children's Theater Series shows, children of all ages are welcome, and children under the age of one will be admitted without charge to sit on an adult's lap. Regardless of age, all children must be seated with an adult, and children over the age of one must have a ticket.

WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO WHILE VISITING?

Consider adding a children's workshop to your theater experience before or after your show. They're a great way to expand your child's understanding of what they see on stage. Led by professional teaching artists, these forty-five-minute workshops are fun, educational, and only $5 per child, but space is limited, so you should make your reservations in advance.
