2010 | BEST LARGE THEATER

CTC may aim its work at the younger set, but the theater has never been childish. At it's best, though, it's childlike--full of enthusiasm for the new, willing to take chances because that's what life is for, not afraid to fail because it doesn't know how. The theater had a particularly strong year in 2009, led by a terrific promenade version of Romeo and Juliet.

2007 | BEST THEATER FOR DRAMA

Besides, this funny,... More »

'Mercy Watson' brings porcine quest for toast to CTC

By Ed Huyck | Fri, September 9, 2011

Peter Brosius calls his cast for Mercy Watson to the Rescue! a "super group of Twin Cities' comedy." That's really not overstating the case, as the Children's Theatre Company cast includes Sara Richar... More »
