We try to stage shows that not only will interest, entertain, move and teach young people, but will do so for adults as well, regardless of whether or not they are accompanied by children. We want to stimulate conversation on all levels. We want to get children talking to parents, teachers to students, parents to grandparents, young people to each other. Our specific challenge is to provide theatre that is not simple minded, that never condescends to young people, that does not exhort but poses plausible dilemmas and lets the audience, along with the characters, puzzle out choices between equal or nearly equal moral forces. We try to mount productions that provide young audiences with some of the most exciting, magical and rewarding experiences of their early years.
Young people are both the present and future.
All young people, regardless of their circumstances, deserve this and no less.
