2012 has been an exciting year for Valley theatre. We have seen Valley premiere's of shows like Next To Normal, Ave. Q, Spring Awakening and Ordinary Days. Fun classic shows like Fiddler On The Roof and Singing In The Rain. Fun newer shows like The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Thought provoking shows like Assassins and Baptized To The Bone, and family friendly shows like Beauty and the Beast and A Year With Frog and Toad.

If you have a child interested in theatre Children’s Musical Theaterworks (CMT) in Fresno might be just what you’ve been looking for. The company was started in 1996 by Joel Abels (StageWorks Fresno) to create a place where kids and teens could come together to share in the magic of theatre.
