MAR 4-6, 2022
Welcome!

Welcome to the Victoria Theatre and next show on the Dayton Children’s Family Series: SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! I’m excited that this show spans generations, uniting kids, parents, and grandparents in a fun, entertaining, and educational experience! 

Our gratitude goes to Dayton Children’s for their ongoing support of this series. This is one of the state’s longest-running children’s performing arts series and we’re thankful Dayton Children’s sees the value in it. We trust you do too. Dayton 24/7 Now - WKEF ABC22 and WRGT Fox 45 - is the official media sponsor for the Saturday performances. Think TV is the official media sponsor for the Sunday Sensory-Friendly Performance. 

These challenging times continue to show us not only the resiliency and dedication of our staff, crew, sponsors, and board of trustees but also the amazing support we feel from YOU, our patrons, and the Dayton community as a whole. THANK YOU. 

There is one more Dayton Children’s Family Series show on the way: THE PEKING ACROBATS (March 16). Plus we’ve added a fabulous production of the musical CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY May 26 – 28. Check out all the options at DaytonLive.org and add some life-changing performances to your calendar.

Thank you for being here and supporting the arts in Dayton!

ABOUT CHILDSPLAY

480-921-5700  |  www.childsplayaz.org


  • Childsplay, founded in 1977, is a non-profit professional theatre company of adult actors, teaching and performing for young audiences and families. 
  • Childsplay’s mission is to create theatre so strikingly original in form, content or both that it instills in young people an enduring awe, love and respect for the medium, thus preserving imagination and wonder, those hallmarks of childhood that are the keys to the future.
  • Childsplay launched its first national tour in 2007, with Tomás and the Library Lady. Since then the company has completed 10 more national tours throughout the United States (including Alaska!) and Canada. Next season, Childsplay will send Schoolhouse Rock Live out on its second national tour! 
  • Childsplay’s administrative offices, classrooms, rehearsal halls, prop and costume shops are located in the Sybil B. Harrington Campus for Imagination and Wonder at Mitchell Park, 900 South Mitchell Drive, Tempe.
