Our Philosophy & Approach to Education

In its 24th year of offering educational programming and theatrical performances, Oklahoma Children’s Theatre continues to build a fun and inviting atmosphere for all students to create, imagine, and experiment in the arts. There is a place for everyone in the theatre, whether you enjoy creating your own characters, designing costumes, building props, you’re a new actor or a seasoned pro, Oklahoma Children’s Theatre explores it all! Master teaching artists from around Oklahoma return each year to work with campers on their creative drama skills. Many of our instructors, assistants, and volunteers are alumni of Oklahoma Children’s Theatre programming.  Our instructors are professional theatre artists or theatre students, and most importantly, all love sharing the gift of theater.  In addition all employees have undergone an OSBI background check. Oklahoma Children’s Theatre arts education programs are accessible for children of every ability, ethnicity, and economic background. To promote the best in self-expression and individual positive attention, class size is limited to 15 campers. Now in its new home at Oklahoma City University, Oklahoma Children’s Theatre has access to some of the best theatre and performing arts facilities and professionals around.
