The Official West Virginia Children's Theatre
"CTOC gives children and families the opportunity to share the total theater experience"
Every season, we perform a series of shows for the general public and for audiences of other kids who take a break during their school day to come experience the magic of live theatre.
Since
1932, The Children's Theatre of Charleston has educated children about the theatre. We
give them an opportunity to learn and thrive by participating in plays—performing
on stage or in important backstage roles.

If you are still in school
or young at heart, come join us! In the cast or in the audience,
we have a role for you!
The Children's Theatre of Charleston will be performing:
The Secret Garden
Bethany Cline
Director
This
adaptation by Tim Kelly of the literary classic is the story of Mary Lennox, known as a
difficult child, who is sent to live at her uncle's estate in England after her parents
pass away. Misselthwaite Manor turns out to be a gloomy fortress. Her uncle is rarely
home, and his young son, Colin, never leaves his room, convinced he's an incurable
invalid. To her surprise, Mary discovers a strange walled garden that has been locked up
for years. With the help of the gardener's apprentice, Mary brings the garden back to life
and discovers the wonderful, magical effect the garden has on all who come into it.
