Since 1988, Oregon Children’s Theatre has been creating extraordinary theater for young audiences. We bring great stories to life on stage, with productions distinguished by their professional polish and awe-inspiring staging. For many children, attending an OCT production is their first experience with professional performing arts.

Our work is grounded in the belief that theater and storytelling can educate, inspire, empower, and entertain in remarkable ways. Each season, we reach more than 120,000 children and families through:

Unforgettable theater productions that delight and inspire families and school groups.

Acting Academy programs that teach the craft of theater while fostering life skills.

Dynamic performances, classes, workshops, and residencies in schools and in the community that use theater and storytelling to teach and inspire.
