Live theater is a passion my husband and I have shared through our entire courtship and marriage, and it is now something we enjoy experiencing with our children too!
By introducing them to live performances at a very young age, we have been able to impart our appreciation for the performing arts and create wonderful family memories as well.
School and youth theater productions are the best sources for age-appropriate shows at an affordable price. Here is the lineup of fabulous events, coming to a stage near you!
