Welcome to ATFC's 2025-2026 Season!

A Theater For Children is a unique community theater in Sonoma County. We build character and community by inviting participants into our mainstage shows on the basis of their audition, rather than a fee. Our approach enables us to gather a community of families who are passionate about theater, like to get involved behind the scenes, and who embrace our mission of providing affordable theater for young audiences. Our theater company emphasizes learning and dedication, and yields important friendships over time.

This season we are announcing all three of our productions at once. We hope to see you at an audition or in the audience soon!

Cheers!

Space Princess Wars

March 6th -March 15th

Directed by Emily Stockert

at Kid Street Theater

This hilarious comedy, written by Don Zolidis, a leading playwright for young actors, blends the adventure and sci-fi elements of Star Wars with the fairytale elements and humor of The Princess Bride, and some allusions to Cats the musical, thrown in.

As you get pulled into the mashup tale of a princess with a secret agenda and space wizards destined for greatness, with special effects achieved by an actor hurling models and puppets, you and your children will be in for a delightful theatrical space odyssey!

at Kid Street Theater

Shrek KIDS is a laugh-filled, family-friendly musical where everyone’s favorite ogre learns that real beauty comes from the inside. With lively songs, silly fun, and heartwarming lessons about friendship and acceptance, it’s the perfect show to delight young children and their families.
