The Delaware Children's Theatre (DCT) is located in an historic building, built in 1892 and designed by Minerva Parker Nichols, the only woman that the 1889 Philadelphia architectural press acknowledged.
The DCT is the only non-profit community theatre in the Wilmington area devoted solely to bringing classic and original musical productions to children and families. Maintaining an historic building and keeping ticket prices affordable for families is a challenge. Please help support live musical theater for children!
We hope to continue bringing theatre magic for generations to come. We appreciate your support!
