Letter from the Director
Welcome to Tufts Children's Theater!
As the Director of Tufts Children’s Theater, I’m thrilled to welcome you to a program where every child is encouraged to explore, express, and embrace who they truly are. For decades, we have been a home for young artists to engage their imaginations, build lifelong friendships, and grow as individuals.
Our mission is to nurture creativity, cultivate confidence, and inspire the next generation of artists and thinkers. Our productions bring stories to life with heart, humor, and a commitment to excellence. But more than that, they remind us of the importance of connection and the power of shared experiences.
Our values are at the heart of everything we do. Here, we invite you to be authentically you—sharing your personality and unique gifts with confidence. When we all show up as our true selves, we create a space where everyone feels empowered to do the same.
We pride ourselves on fostering an environment that is safe and supported. Mutual respect and kindness guide us as we build each other up, creating a foundation where students feel confident to take creative risks and discover their potential.
At Tufts Children’s Theater, we are fueled by process-motivated growth. We know that every artist is a work in progress, and we celebrate the small victories and big transformations that happen along the way. While our end-of-session productions are a culmination of hard work and passion, they’re also joyful celebrations of the growth we’ve experienced together.
This is also a place of exploration and expression, where silliness and seriousness coexist in harmony. Whether you’re diving deep into a challenging story or simply being your wonderfully goofy self, we value the balance that allows us to explore big ideas while embracing the fun and joy of making art together.
And finally, we thrive on Good Semble and the spirit of “Yes, And…” By working together as a creative community, we celebrate both individuality and togetherness. We listen, anticipate each other’s needs, and co-create solutions to bring our shared vision to life.
We’re so excited to have you and your child join us on this journey. Whether you’re here to perform, make magic backstage, or explore the arts, your presence is what makes Tufts Children’s Theater such a special place.
Thank you for being part of our community. We can’t wait to see all that we’ll create together.
Warm regards,
John Stark
Executive Director, Tufts Children’s Theater
