Children’s Performances

CHILDREN’S THEATRE-IN-THE-WOODS

Across the Meadow from the Filene Center, tucked in the woods at Wolf Trap National Park, Children’s Theatre-in-the-Woods is a summer tradition for generations of children and families. Performances range from music and dance to puppetry and storytelling—interactive, educational, and fun. Over the past four decades, Children’s Theatre-in-the-Woods has hosted local, national, and international performers representing the rich, diverse cultures of our community through their engaging art forms.

All shows are about a 45 minutes to an hour long and perfect for the whole family. Show specific age recommendations can be found at wolftrap.org/woods.

Thank you to 2022 Season Underwriters Dan and Gayle D’Aniello, and to the Rubenstein Next Generation Initiative for providing major support to this program.
