OUR mission is to foster a sense of creative discipline, to promote the pride of accomplishment and to engender a lifelong love of learning by establishing an environment where the arts can be viewed as something pliable, accessible and available to everyone and to utilize the talents of volunteers in the community and the guidance of professionals to introduce children to all aspects of the performing arts through active participation in a series of creative programs.

We Appreciate Your Support!

In 2006, the tiny town of Falls Village (population 1,300) located in the northwestern corner of Litchfield County, Connecticut, spear-headed by founder Denise Cohn, embraced the notion of coming together to put on a professionally directed and choreographed production of The Wizard of Oz by the youth of Falls Village. Thirty-six youth, ages 5 -18, numerous adult volunteers and hired professionals participated.

Fundraisers were held, funding was sought, and admission was free with donations accepted. The overwhelmingly positive response was inspirational.

Thus, the Falls Village Children's Theater (FVCT) was founded and an enthusiastic volunteer Board of Directors was gathered.

We continue with this model today of professionally produced Spring productions of Disney and Junior versions of musical theater by the youth of Falls Village along with fee-based year round showcases, workshops and mini productions open to all youth from our surrounding tri-state area.
