Act, Snack, Act!
Entertaining and engaging young actors since 1976.
The stage is for everyone.
Yale Children’s Theater is an undergraduate community service organization sharing theater with young people in Greater New Haven. We have on-campus and touring productions, an improvisation troupe, and weekly acting workshops.
What We Do
Productions
Undergraduate writers, directors, and actors put their spin on famous children’s tales or create their own for K-5 audiences, performed in Yale College theaters and at schools in Greater New Haven.
Workshops
Our teaching team hosts weekly acting and improv workshops for grades K-12. Students across schools and towns come to Yale’s campus to learn and grow as theater-makers.
Tours
Visits to Greater New Haven schools give our productions a new stage and audience! For younger grades, our actors read and act out classic children’s books.
