SHOWS
Yale Children’s Theater writes, directs, and produces four original plays a year. Our productions are interactive, inviting kids to help the characters navigate their adventures! We hold two performances a semester at Yale University, and visit local schools in the community.

YCT Presents:
A YCT Dream
Written and Directed by Carrie Mannino
A wood; four people in love (but not with the right people); fairy mischief; and a troop of bumbling actors. What could go wrong? This September, come join Yale Children's Theater for "A YCT Dream," a kids' adaptation of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Bring your fairy wings!
Nick Chapel Theater
Trumbull College
241 Elm Street, New Haven CT
For directions to Trumbull college, see here. To get to the theater, enter Trumbull college through the gate on Elm Street (near the intersection of Elm and York), and go into the first door on your right -- there will be a staircase to the right that leads to the theater. If this sounds complicated, don't worry! There will be ushers at the performances to help you find the theater.
10/13 @ 11 AM and 1 PM
10/14 @ 11 AM and 1 PM
Our shows are free for everyone, though $5 donations are greatly appreciated!
