Delaware Children's Theatre

Entertaining audiences of all ages for 50 seasons

As leaves change and kids head back to school, DCT is planning a fantastic season. Starting off in October with Spookley, the Square Pumpkin, giving fun Halloween vibes. Wear your favorite costume! Then for Princess fans, our Once Upon a Mattress holiday show, opens in November. This one is very funny, features a Princess parade and is based on the fairytale the Princess and the Pea. So wear your Royal gown and join in!

Pinocchio starts the new year off right, our third show, with this endearing tale of a puppet who becomes a real boy. And don’t forget our April show, first time EVER at DCT, SpongeBob SquarePants

CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS: We rely on our wonderful volunteers to help us at DCT. We need ushers, seamstresses, backstage help, and help on show days. Want to learn how to run spotlight or do sound? We’ll teach you! Be part of our community and make new friends. 

OFFICE MAKEOVER: We’re looking for help to revamp our office. Over the years, we’ve made do with donated pieces that don’t quite fit our needs any longer. Looking for some stylin’ folks to take on this project who have basic skills in setting up an office. (Contact info@delawarechildrenstheatre.org)

On behalf of our founder, Marie Swajeski, we invite you along for a wonderful season and thank you for your kind support.
