About The Children's Theatre of Western Springs

The Theatre of Western Springs has grown from its humble beginnings in 1929, when Mary Cattell founded the Little Theatre of Western Springs. After outgrowing borrowed venues, the theatre launched a successful campaign to build its own 400-seat theatre building in 1961. The theatre has continued to thrive, adding a second, 150-seat black-box theatre in 1976. Today, the Theatre of Western Springs is a place for the entire community to come together and experience the joys of live theatre. With over 400 students trained each year, the Children’s Theatre of Western Springs produces 7 adult productions, 4 student productions, and a holiday show, making it an international leader in the creative arts.
