My son, 3.5, and I went to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. This is part of the Snuggery Theater for the very young. It was his first play, and it was wonderful. We both really enjoyed it. It was interactive and the actors were fantastic! The lobby had toys to entertain the kids while they waited for the play to start. We will definitely be going to more plays here.
My daughter attends their weekly summer camps ever year and she loves it. Its a bit pricey but worth it in the end.
We loved the performance! It is difficult to find entertainment for our 1 1/2 year old, and this was perfect. The actresses were great, and they really get the kids involved and keep their interest. We will definitely go back any time we are in Tennessee.
My family and I had an awesome experience at the Nashville Children's Theater today. This was my first time there and it won't be my last. Thank you for a wonderful venue to watch great plays that are kid friendly.
Excellent setup and friendly for children of all ages. Will be coming back for sure.
Went on a school field trip. The staff was well organized and informative. The transition between the first showing and the second was incredibly smooth. The seating was comfortable, and even from the far side where we were sitting, the view of the performance was not lacking. Look forward to return trips.
Went to see the little mermaid with my son's and some friends. It was wonderful! The actors and actresses did amazing in their parts. Everyone played their parts so well! We loved Ursula she was my favorite along with Sebastian! My boys were amazed at the two gentlemen who played the eels "Ursula's pets" they said that seeing them was the best part of the movie. I can not wait to take them back to see another show!
The play was excellent, as the plays have been since the 60's. The subject matter of "Secret Soldiers" is more suitable for middle school and higher.
Had such a great time at the play, The Outsiders. Wow, what an amazing performance and stage.
Lots of great plays and then great activities afterwards for my younger kids.
Return the sender was by far the best plays we have ever been too! It brought us to tears in love with the performance. This was our first time here at the Nashville Children't Theater hopefully will be back soon for another performance.
They offered a special program for children in poverty. I am totally disabled and diagnosed terminal so I sent in an application me and my child. My application went into a black hole. No phone call, no email, no response of any kind. A second time around I emailed everything, and also mailed all required paperwork through the post office. Second time around, no call, no email, no letter, no response of any kind. I understand that I was asking for a gift. However this gift had been freely offered on the website as a community program. Maybe they should stop claiming to offer this kind of thing, if people are going to fill out lengthy application forms only to feel like their efforts get thrown in the trash.
Perfect community theatre for your family from PK to grandparents.
My son who is 11 years old and I went to see the play Auntie Claus. The performance was amazing and my son really enjoyed it.
My kids loved the presentation of The Little Mermaid!! It was fabulous, and they accommodated our group very well
This show was absolutely fantastic. The actors were incredible. The singing and music was on point perfectly. I enjoyed this experience so much but there was one negative. The downfall was my almost 1 year old got accused of crying during the performance when she was actually singing, squealing, and clapping along. She wasn t even making any noise when we were approached. We got told there was a comfort room, which I would have been happy to go to if she really was upset. I thought this was a children s theatre, which means to me that all children would be accepted. I was so happy that she was enjoying it so much bc this was for her birthday and my other daughters birthday. This happened not even half way thru the show, so the rest of the show I was trying to make sure we weren t bothering anyone, but I feel that this may be our last time at the theatre. This was our first experience here and I have taken them to many other shows, including tpac, multiple high school shoes, and our community theatre, and never have felt so unwelcomed in a place. Again I want to say that I loved the show itself but how this instance was handled I do not feel was professional.
I was not expecting so much from a Children's Theater. Saw Cinderella, the acting, singing, everything was on point.
Nashville Children's Theater has been a popular place as a field trip venue for the Schrader Lane Childcare Center classes for over 20 years. We love this place. The experiences provided for children each year are priceless. Never stop.

Absolutely loved the show, The Little Mermaid. We took our daughter for her 4th birthday and she was mesmerized the entire time. The Q&A afterwards was fascinating and she liked learning how the boat moved along the stage. This was our "test" to see if our daughter could handle theater performances and now we know we will be back for many more shows! Thank you for a great memory!
The best place in town for happy children and happier parents!
I took my neices to see the Itsy Bitsy Spider. It was so good! Better than I expected. The actresses were so engaging and patient with the children. They kept all of their attention so well. Definitely a go-to for parents/caregivers with active kids.
Went to a production of twinkle twinkle Little Star in the snuggery. It was fantastic, they had toys to play with beforehand and flexible seating in the theatre. The rules were lax so we felt comfortable with our kids moving and whispering. Plus, they loved the play! The two actors were fantastic and the interactive portion was great for my little ones!
