Give the Gift of Imagination

Children don’t forget how theatre makes them feel. Carousel Players creates spaces for young people to express themselves and to see themselves in our plays. Engaging with children through drama teaches them to interact with empathy and creates a sense of hope for the future.

Carousel Players’ work helps our audiences make memories, not just in the moment but for the rest of their lives. People remember Carousel shows for decades after they see them because they are a live experience – it creates a different connection than watching a screen.

Give the Gift of Community

As children return to school and socializing after long periods of isolation, there is a particular need for the social and emotional benefits of live theatre.

Now that we are able to be together in schools and communities again, the act of gathering and sharing is very important for the healing of children who have been without community for so long.
