Discover the Genesis difference

More than a theater-a second home

At Genesis Children's Theatre, we are more than just a place to perform-we are a family. Many of our students call Genesis their second home, a place where they are seen, valued, and nurtured. Our welcoming environment ensures that every child finds their people and feels safe to explore, create, and grow.

Why Genesis? Because every child deserves a place where they belong.

Quality Over Quantity: Small Class Sizes, Big Impact

Unlike other competitive children’s theatre programs, Genesis focuses on quality over quantity. By keeping our class sizes intentionally small, our directors and staff truly get to know each student—by name, by heart, and by their unique talents.

🌟 The Genesis Difference: We don’t see students as just numbers; we see their potential and nurture it.

Professional Level Theater for Young Actors

Our productions aren’t just good children's theatre—they are great theatre. With seasoned theatre professionals guiding our students, Genesis productions uphold the highest standards of storytelling, acting, and production design.

🎭 What does this mean for our students? They learn and perform at a level that earns the respect of educators, directors, and professionals in the industry.

GENESIS GRADUATE: I performed my first and last show at Genesis this past summer playing Hodel in Fiddler On The Roof. I have never been in such an environment where I felt so at home and safe for such a short time. Everyone was so welcoming, kind and warm, not just our directors but the students too!! This is an amazing environment where you can be sure your child will have their passion for theatre nurtured in a healthy manner. And also, they put on a great show. Please support this theatre, they are amazing!!🩷🩷

With lots of love, Lauren💕

GENESIS PARENT: I have two daughters that have been in several productions and camps spanning over the last 7-8 years. We couldn’t say more good things about Genesis and its directors. The young actors learn so much more than how to perform on stage, they learn skills that last a lifetime off stage. They learn team work and problem solving, how to build each other up in the midst of seeking the same goals, how to build their own confidence and become leaders, and the value of hard work and determination. If you’re looking for this type of environment for your aspiring young actor, this is the place to be!! -Traci
