The Tin Can Fantasy Factory , part of the Ithaca Youth Bureau's Center for the Expressive Arts, is a traveling summer improvisational theatre troupe that performs for children and families at playgrounds, local parks, day camps, community centers, and state parks . It brings a world of theatre to children of all social and economic backgrounds. Children are encouraged to talk with the actors about costumes, props, sets, learnings, and feelings after each show. The troupe writes scripts based on children's ideas. Plays illuminate such issues as being your own person, the power of words, imagination, and self-esteem.
Care is given in creating scripts rich in language and reflecting positive social values.
