Location: 565 W Tuscarawas Ave, Barberton, OH 44203, United States

Magical Theatre Company, located in the heart of Barberton, Ohio, is a beacon of creativity and inspiration for young minds. Established in 1972, this award-winning company is dedicated to providing high-quality professional theatre experiences for young audiences and their families. Our historic venue, a beautifully restored vintage theatre built in 1919, offers a charming and awe-inspiring setting that transports visitors from the everyday into a world of wonder and storytelling.

Our Mission:

At Magical Theatre Company, we believe in the transformative power of live performance. Our shows are designed to nurture the minds and hearts of children, encouraging them to see themselves in the characters on stage or to empathize with characters different from themselves. This experience fosters empathy and a greater understanding of the world around them.

We are passionate about igniting a love of storytelling in children, helping them become inquisitive, lifelong readers. Our productions are more than just entertainment; they are opportunities for young audiences to make lasting memories with their families and classmates, inspired by the shared experience of live theatre.

Upcoming Shows and Performances:

Our new and upcoming shows promise to be as exciting and memorable as our past performances. We invite you to explore the magic and fun of our productions and join us for an unforgettable theatrical experience at our next show.

Educational Programs and Camps:

Magical Theatre Company offers a variety of camps and educational programs that allow young people to develop life skills while enjoying the joys of acting, dancing, singing, and improvisation. Our camps are staffed by experienced professional directors and actors committed to bringing out the best in children and teens. Through high-energy sessions focusing on character, movement, voice, creative dramatics, and improv, kids take center stage and learn valuable performance skills.

Our signature camp provides children with a true theatre experience, helping them build the skills needed to shine on the big stage. We encourage kids to follow their active imaginations and explore their creativity in a supportive and energetic environment.

Community Engagement:

We are dedicated to making great theatre accessible to more young people. Our programs offer numerous ways for schools, libraries, churches, and other organizations to enrich the lives of students (pre-K-12) with professional theatre. We bring our productions to where the kids are, whether it's schools, libraries, churches, or other community locations. One of our popular programs involves students writing stories that we adapt into plays and perform onstage, much to the delight of young audiences and their families.
