How can I get my child involved in your theatre?

A common misunderstanding, and it's a question we get asked frequently at CTHR. Our company consists of professional adult actors, and we provide entertainment for children and families. However, we make it a primary goal of ours to involve the audience in each of our plays. So come prepared for you and your child to be a part of our productions!

Can I pay royalties to CTHR for one of their scripts, so I can perform it at my own venue?"
