Cochrane Children's Theatre Festival

Professional Theatre for Young Audiences – Right Here in Cochrane!

You’re sitting on a picnic blanket under the sun, enjoying tacos and poutine from your favourite local food truck. Laughter fills the air as your kids are mesmerized by a high-energy, hilarious musical live on stage—performed by professionals, just for them. No long drive to the city. No expensive tickets. Just an incredible day of theatre, fun, and imagination—right in your own backyard.

Welcome to the Cochrane Children's Theatre Festival – a FREE, family-friendly, outdoor celebration of Professional Theatre for Young Audiences. That means shows for kids—not by kids. Expect world-class acts like:

🎪 Green Fools’ Gustavo the Impossibilist

And that's just the beginning.

🖌️ Craft stations
🎨 Face painting
👑 Surprise character visits (yes, maybe even a princess or two!)

All culminating in a magical day that you and your family will never forget.

This event is proudly presented by the Black Box Theatre Guild, in collaboration with Sleeping Giants Theatre. Learn more at www.bbtg.ca.
