Mission Statement

Talespinner Children's Theatre develops and produces highly imaginative, original, collaborative and interactive professional works for children that also stimulate creative growth in its artists. These pieces involve acting, dance, music, puppetry, and numerous other artistic disciplines, and are open to all creative possibility. TCT creates work that remembers that children are smaller people, not lesser people. Talespinner Children's Theatre strives to reach across socio-economic, cultural and traditional boundaries to help awaken and bring better understanding by opening eyes, ears, hearts and imaginations in the young people (and artists) of Cleveland and its surrounds.
