Children's Theatre Association of San Francisco
The Children’s Theatre Association of San Francisco is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to bringing live musical theater to over 6,000 school children each year. At first, our all-volunteer group loaded sets and costumes into their cars and traveled to various locations to perform. From 1981 through 2011, CTA was a part of the San Francisco Fine Arts Museums cultural programs for schools, and now more than 6000 elementary schoolchildren attend our shows annually. An admission fee is charged for Saturday performances in November, December and January, to offset production costs and to assist children and families who might otherwise be unable to attend paid performances. CTA’s musical plays are all professionally written and directed, insuring the quality of annual productions. Our members design and build sets, sew costumes, spend hours in rehearsal, produce the shows and work behind the scenes. Their time and talents help sustain the creative tradition of Children’s Theatre Association.
