Children's Theater of Madison
Since our first performance in 1965, Children's Theater of Madison (CTM) has been committed to producing high quality, professional productions that are enjoyed by all ages. From the extraordinary talent of our adult and youth actors to the fabulous sets and costumes and the imaginative interpretations of great plays and musicals, we have been a mainstay in the Madison community, delighting and enriching lives through the magic of theater. In addition to a wide variety of productions CTM also offers training in acting and musical theater through our weekend studio classes and our acclaimed Summer Drama School.
