Mission - Childsplay's mission is "to create theatre so strikingly original in form, content or both, that it instills in young people an enduring awe, love and respect for the medium, thus preserving imagination and wonder, those hallmarks of childhood which are the keys to the future."

Summer Academy

By popular demand, we have added NEW sections of our sold out summer classes.

These will fill quickly so register soon. Classes will be held at our brand-new home, the Sybil B. Harrington Campus for Imagination and Wonder in Tempe. The new campus includes four beautiful, state-of-the-art classrooms, rehearsal rooms and a black box theater! Classes for ages 3 to 18.
