Our
critically acclaimed national touring company travels coast to coast
with professional large-scale productions designed to stir the heart,
stretch the mind and promote education. Each production is selected and
designed with a youth and family audience in mind from materials which
reflect the diversity of our world community. They encompass a combination of new plays, familiar stories, literary works, biographies, mythology, folk tales, music, dance, and puppetry. With such a vast and impressionable audience to serve, our productions usually target a different age range every other touring season. Study guides accompany every
production and a variety of curriculum based workshops and residencies
are also available to teachers and students.
Dallas Children’s Theater began a local touring program in 1985 with the Native American piece, Legend of the Bluebonnet.
In 1989, the touring roster expanded to statewide and regional
venues. 1996 marked the first year in which DCT began to tour
nationally.
