In 2004, Director Terry Dvorak held auditions for “Rats! the Musical,” the very first Children's Theater production at VACT. The show was performed in May 2005 with a cast of 30 children. That program has now grown to five youth only productions a year, with combined casts totaling over 400 children and teens between the ages of 7-18. Over 30 different schools across nine communities are regularly represented. 

VACT’s Children’s Theater program provides a strong sense of community and a memorable set of experiences that enable children to improve their self-confidence, discipline, and abilities to work as a team, as well as have fun.

The cost to participate in a Children's Theater production is intentionally kept low and camps and classes are very reasonably priced. Fees are waived or reduced for families needing financial assistance. Please see our assistance request page for more information on fee waivers and reductions for camps and classes.
