Celebrating 35 years of TCT!

Since 1986, Tuscaloosa Children’s Theatre has transformed and enriched the lives of area children, educating and exposing them to all aspects of stage performance and production.

From our humble beginnings when a group of parents, educators, and theatre professionals led by Shelley Jones and Dee Ward identified a need for the youth of Tuscaloosa and surrounding counties to have opportunities to perform, we have grown from school auditoriums to the historic Bama Theatre, and now look forward to a permanent home in the future state-of-the-art Saban Center.

Throughout our history, countless young thespians, school groups, and audiences have delighted in TCT’s live performances of Annie JR, Seussical, A Christmas Carol, The Wizard of Oz and many more inspiring productions.

Although we cannot perform live right now, we continue to engage in alternate ways and we will be back on stage soon, stronger than ever. And when that time comes we will be ready to shine and to celebrate with you!

In the meantime, we are planning multiple activities that will be announced throughout 2021 to honor our founders, the numerous casts and crews over 35 years and the community that made TCT into the leading provider of children's performance theatre in West Alabama.

We are ever grateful for all of the support over these many years from our volunteers, patrons, sponsors and donors, civic and religious leaders, foundations, fellow non-profit and arts organizations, parents, schools and educators, enthusiastic audiences and numerous others. We look forward to many more years of educating and entertaining!
