Calico Children's Theatre

At Calico Children's Theatre, our goal is to provide an experience where a child's imagination can soar while maintaining quality and affordable pricing for our audiences. We hope that each visit to the theatre sparks curiosity in our youth to educate and incorporate the lessons they learn into their everyday lives. There's nothing like witnessing the light in a child's eyes as the curtains open and the stage comes alive!
