Traverse City Children's Theatre
The Educational Arm of Old Town Playhouse

  

Traverse City Children's Theatre (TCCT) provides an innovative blend of theatre and education for young people from 3 to 21 years of age. Located just three blocks from downtown Traverse City, Michigan, our performance areas (which are handicapped accessible with an elevator and ramp) include a 358-seat mainstage auditorium and an 80-seat studio theatre, while our touring productions visit various schools to bring shows that teach or reinforce core lessons for students from first grade to high school.




ATTENTION EDUCATORS: TCCT is now taking bookings for its 2008 school touring season of educational plays! We are pleased to present 'The Odyssey'. See our Outreach Page for details.
