Meet your hosts!

Children's Theatre Workshop is graciously hosting all of our workshops in their beautiful studio spaces, located right next door to The Ohio Theater! Having access to large open spaces for people to learn, play, be creative, and move their bodies, is essential for the success of this festival.

Go See a Show, Toledo is the other brainchild of our President, Amber Wilkes, and provides opportunities for cross-promotion and marketing to a large audience of theatrefolk. Connections made have proven valuable considering the amazing roster of instructors, sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and performers we have already locked in!

The Ohio Theater will be housing the majority of our event, providing space and supplies for vendor tables, concessions, and performances. We are extremely lucky to have access to this historic venue. It is the perfect setting, in which to bring our community together!

If you are looking for ways to get involved, here are a few options:
1. Volunteer!
