Founded in 1980, The Un-Common Theatre Company is dedicated to producing quality productions performedby aspiring young actors, singers and musicians and supported by aspiring young technicians. We are one of the few children's theatre companies in New England that provides an opportunity to work under the guidance of theatre professionals and perform in professional theater houses. Our Vision is to develop the life skills of youth through the professional theatrical experience. The Un-Common Theatre Co. seeks to develop children’s confidence, self- esteem, teamwork and effective life skills in a safe environment in which creativity and appropriate risk-taking are encouraged. We also provide opportunities for children to learn from young adults and adults and for young adults and adults to mentor children. We welcome and encourage adults to join our volunteer crews which are an integral part of each production. Joining us is a sure-fire way to enrich young lives, enhance your own life, and ensure the on-going success of The Un-Common Theatre Company.
