Since 2006, CMU University Theatre has performed Theatre for Young Audiences productions specifically for students and teachers. The productions have included a play that was created and written especially for our season, classics that have touched the lives of theatre fans for generations, and a play rewritten after the original script was lost in the chaos of World War 2. We've performed for students from nearly every grade level, school type, and socionomic background, demonstrating our commitment to the future of theatre and the arts.
