ABOUT US





American Childrens Theatre is a theater company in English for children. We offer classes during the school year, camps (stages) during some school vacations and in the summer, and occasional specialized workshops. We do a little singing, a little dancing, a little clowning, a little silliness, and have a lot of fun! We only use material that has positive values and messages. A highlight of our Fall and Spring sessions is performing in a professional theater here in Paris! The children get to experience the thrill of a real stage performance with lights, sound, effects, and a full audience. We can also bring our program into schools, birthday parties, and more!
