Theatre of Youth was founded in 1972 by Rosalind Cramer and Toni Smith Wilson, theatre instructors at Daemen College. Since then, TOY has continued to gain expertise and experience in our field and grow in our dedication to bringing theatre into the lives of young people. Our plays are performed by professional adult actors in full-scale mainstage productions. Our professional staff have excellent training and many hold advanced degrees in their fields.

Meg Quinn, Artistic Director and season sponsor BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York are proud to announce the 2005-2006 Season at Theatre of Youth. "I have selected plays this season that will challenge and inspire young people," comments Quinn. "Our artistic staff is already discussing designs and promise yet another season of outstanding theatrical experiences for families." Last year over 50,000 parents, teachers and young people attended Theatre of Youth productions.

Keep in Mind that when you support Theatre of Youth, you are also supporting actors that live and work in Buffalo. Our actors are familiar to our audiences and feel like friends. Time and time again, parents tell us how much our plays impact their children. We hope that you will join us for the special theatre experience that only TOY creates for young people.
