Children's Theatre Festival 2009 - From CBACT - Boston, MA

The Consortium of Boston Area Children's Theatres is a nonprofit organization that creates magic through collaboration between Boston-based children theatre companies.

Each summer, CBACT sponsors the Childrens Theatre Festival- a full day of theatre meant for kids of all ages to enjoy - including shows and interactive workshops.

The festival is a unique opportunity for young members of the theatre arts to experience live performance by their peers, and meet new members of the Boston theatre community.

The 2009 festival was held at the Arsenal Center for the Arts and hosted by the Watertown Children's Theatre. Participating theatres included Concord Youth Theatre, Riverside Theatre works, Arlington Children's Theatre, The Young Company at Stoneham Theatre, and the UnCommon Theatre Company.

Rob Hopper, from the National Youth Theatre, said:

Not content with rallying the states together to launch the American Revolution, now Boston is leading the way toward uniting youth theatres..


The mission of CBACT is:

To enhance access to resources and audiences.

To share ideas, build upon, and ensure one another's success.

To broaden the rewarding and long lasting effects of children's theatre on both the public and participants.

To provide a network for and foster collaboration between Boston based children theatres.
