The Gratitude Gallery

Every child deserves the opportunity to laugh, wonder, imagine, and see themselves reflected in a story. Because of the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and supporters, more than 163,000 children and families experienced the joy of The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati last season through MainStage performances at the Emery Theater, TCT on Tour, and TCT Academy.

For many students, a trip to The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati is more than a performance. It is their first live theatre experience, a special memory shared with classmates or family, and sometimes an opportunity they may not otherwise have.

The notes and drawings below were created by children who attended our productions in the 2025-26 season. Their words are simple, sincere, and a beautiful reminder of why this work matters. Thank you for helping create treasured moments, inspire imaginations, and open the curtain to possibilities for thousands of young people.

Because of you, the magic continues.
