Emerald City Theatre Company

There is something magical that happens when children are exposed to age-appropriate theater at a young age. Emerald City Theater aims to inspire early learners through play and has been delighting audiences since 1996 with performances. As one of Chicago's most attended non-profit theatres, it welcomes 80,000 children and their grownups annually through its programming. Plays feature well-known children's characters such as 3 Little Piggies, Ramona Quimby and Charlie Brown. It's also home to the city's largest theater school for children ages 3 to 13 with a focus on teaching important life skills through theater. Performances are located at three locations.
