Junior Producer
Children’s Theatre Company’s Junior Producer program is designed to give young people—and their families!—a behind-the-scenes look at the art on stage, and the opportunity to connect with the artists and theatre professionals that make the magic happen.
This holiday season, join us as a special guest in Whoville by making a $500 tax-deductible gift and becoming a Junior Producer family for Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Opening Saturday, November 12, 2022, this family-favorite holiday spectacular is filled with catchy songs, Seussian rhymes, and everyone’s favorite cantankerous Grinch.
Contact Annual Fund Manager, Vera Jane Lochtefeld, at vlochtefeld@childrenstheatre.org to become a Junior Producer family today!

Benefits include:
- Four tickets to a designated Junior Producer performance of Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! on Friday, December 16 at 7pm
- A 25% discount to purchase additional tickets to any performance
- An exclusive Junior Producer reception where you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the holiday performance magic
- Swag bags with show goodies
- Your child acknowledged as a Junior Producer in the production program
Junior Producer reception details to be finalized in Fall 2022. Behind-the-scenes experiences may be in-person or virtual, pending current restrictions.
