Youth Theatre

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre has a long-standing commitment to encouraging children and young people in acting. Since its establishment in the 1950s, the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre’s Youth Theatre program has fulfilled this mission with dedication and professionalism, while fostering cherished memories and a lifelong love for the stage among Northeast Ohio young people

We believe that performing on a stage in front of an audience teaches children discipline, self-confidence and responsibility, even if they never pursue acting as anything more than a hobby — and besides, it’s a whole lot of fun!

The legacy carries on with Chagrin Valley Little Theatre’s Summer Youth Theatre Camps as our instructors invite students to join an unforgettable journey in the arts.

CVLT's Youth Theatre programs are now open for registration!

We’ll have fun diving into the magic of theatre in vibrant and exciting programs where learning the art of acting is not only educational but also an absolute blast. No need for auditions or prior experience — just bring your enthusiasm, creativity, and readiness for fun!

CVLT’s Youth Theatre programs are about more than just learning acting; they are an excellent opportunity for creativity and camaraderie. Young people in theatre programs will tell you they’ve forged lasting friendships and developed essential interpersonal skills along the way.

Register your child for Chagrin Valley Little Theatre’s Youth Theatre workshops and camps to share with them the joy of theatrical expression and an inclusive and fun social experience.
