In 1978, The National Theatre for Children (known at that time as Small Change Original Theatre, Inc.) dedicated itself to educating young people on important and timely curricular subjects by offering educational live theatre to our nation's schools. Today, NTC does precisely what it was founded to do, present live theater for school, and has developed the art of teaching through live theatre into a science of its own.

NTC has pioneered extremely successful programs in health, science, social studies, reading and math. Each year we perform live educational theatre programs in front of millions of students, in thousands of schools, nationwide!
