Mission
To educate, entertain and engage audiences of all ages through professional theatrical productions and arts education programming.

Overview
In 1924, the Junior League of Cincinnati developed a plan to introduce children in Cincinnati to the magic of theater. They created the Junior League Players, now known as The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati. The Children’s Theatre was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1947 and over the years evolved into a professional theater company. In 1993, the Board of The Children’s Theatre hired Jack Louiso as Artistic Director, and under his leadership The Children’s Theatre rose to new levels of professionalism and has increased its audience to serve nearly 200,000 children, families and schools each season across Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Jack retired in May of 2011, handing over the reins to renowned opera singer and arts educator, Angela Powell Walker.
