NWCT – Northwest Children’s Theater

The mission of Northwest Children’s Theater and School is to educate, entertain and enrich the lives of young audiences. NWCT produces four Mainstage shows per year and administers one of the largest theater schools on the west coast.

NWCT was founded in 1993 by three visionary leaders who saw a need for more arts and educational programming for youth in the Portland area. From humble beginnings lead by dedicated volunteers, NWCT began its first season by offering classes to a handful of students, and producing their first show, Winnie-the-Pooh. According to NWCT Founder and Managing Director, Judy Kafoury, “We started with a desk, a phone, and $6000 in the bank. By the end of the year, the company had grossed over $275,000. We knew we were here to stay.”
