Creative Playground

Creative PlayGround, a not-for-profit arts organization, develops and performs interactive, literature-based theatre for family audiences. Started by Co-Artistic Directors Karen Hardcastle and Elizabeth Tobias and utilizing the talents of a diverse company of professional performers and educators, Creative PlayGround is committed to bringing to life the stories of many cultures for children of all ages and backgrounds.

We believe that theatre for children should be accessible, an extension of their own play; focusing on creativity and encouraging our audiences to help build the world of the story with their own imaginations. We seek to spark in our audience a love of literature, a love of theatre, and a love of the magical world of their own creative energy.

We believe that a shared theatrical experience strengthens both the family and the individual by raising questions which inspire dialogue.
