Knoxville Children's Theatre

Plays for Children, by Children

Knoxville Children's Theatre is an education-focused non-profit that produces year-round live theatre cast entirely with young actors ages 4-18, paired with a Creative Dramatics Academy that trains kids in acting and technical design.

Creative Dramatics Academy Terms

Five seasonal terms keep students working year round, each one wrapping with a showcase performance for family and friends. Programs include:
- Spring Term classes
- Summer Camps (one-week intensives)
- Fall Term classes
- Late Fall Term classes
- Winter Term classes

What's Included

• Instruction in acting plus technical design for live productions
• End-of-term showcase performance
• Limited class sizes (admission by 50% deposit)
• Auditioned opportunities to join the mainstage company

Experience

Kids work through the same craft a professional company uses - script analysis, blocking, tech rehearsals - and then put it in front of a paying audience. Repeat enrollment across terms turns the academy into a year-round home for serious young performers.
