Theatre for the Very Young at Stages Theatre Company

Stages Theatre Company is quickly becoming a national leader in producing Theatre for the Very Young, a genre of theatre that has been popular in Europe and Australia for more than 25 years.
In this participatory, multi-sensory theatre genre for children age 18-months to 4 years and their caregivers, kids become an integral part of telling the story and are fully engaged throughout the show by professional adult actors and youth actors.
Launched in 2014 with our groundbreaking production of The Dandelion Seed, our Theatre for the Very Young productions have been met with an outpouring of interest, and are raising the bar in providing theatre experiences for the youngest of audiences.
“We had the extreme joy of witnessing ‘The Dandelion Seed’ as a family with our daughter the week after her first birthday. She explored the set with the actors with her unsteady legs that had just taken their first steps a few weeks earlier, and I changed my ideas of what I thought theatre could do. It was at that performance that I saw my daughter step out of babyhood and into the world.”
