Fantasy Playhouse Children's Theater & Academy

This children’s theater is a joyful celebration of every child’s unique voice, imagination, and identity. It’s a space where kids/teens are not only encouraged to express themselves but are embraced exactly as they are. They saw my child as creative, curious, and full of potential. Through storytelling and performance, they empowered her to be confident, compassionate, and courageous, both on stage and in life. Fantasy has made a profound impact on her life and I will forever be grateful. 10 out of 10!

Cinderella greatly surpassed my expectations! It was wonderful.

We did a 1 week summer camp here for our 4 year old and she loved it! The staff, including the CEO who was there daily, were absolutely the sweetest with the littles. They truly are invested in bringing arts to Huntsville and making them accessible to all kids.

I absolutely love these plays. We saw Dr. Osborne do a magic show. The events they have are always family friendly and inexpensive. We paid $8 a ticket I believe. Well worth it. We bought season tickets because it never disappoints us. They show wonderful plays and you really feel like part of the show.

Myself and my children have been involved in Fantasy's classes, camps, and main stage productions for several years now. We have also attended many of their shows that were not involved in. In my children, I have seen them grow and develop new skills in speaking, movement, decision making, and more. Their confidence has grown. They have learned professionalism and respect. They have made countless friends. They have experienced the disappointment of not getting a role and learning from the journey and they have experienced the excitement of a casting call and feeling on top of the world. They've learned how to handle both gracefully. They have learned how to work hard on days that they are excited about learning their lines, blocking, dance, and music, as well as days that they maybe aren't as excited. They have learned teamwork and trusting in your cast mates. They have learned how to handle issues and conflict. I could go on and on. In myself, I have gained all of the above and more. I have unlocked new skills, been humbled to learn and take direction even in ways that I didn't necessarily think of. We have gained a community of loving people both in the staff and in the other volunteers. I can't say enough about fantasy. No organization is perfect, but what I have seen is an organization run by people who genuinely care. They care about the children, the quality of their classes and shows, and they care about the community. I'm proud to be a part of the fantasy family!

Fantasy Playhouse Children's Theater performances are engaging and delightful for viewers of all ages! The educational programs and camps are exemplary and led by professional & caring instructors. Our 5 year old daughter had so much fun at summer camp on the first day that she told us she "wanted to hug the whole building!" We've registered her for a second camp session this summer! FPCT is an enriching asset to the Huntsville/Madison County community and North Alabama. Thank you for all that you do!

I grew up attending Fantasy Playhouse and have wonderful memories of it but I just took my daughter and couldn't believe how bad it was. Maybe it was just Alice in Wonderland is a difficult play to pull off well but it was just BAD. I appreciate the ASL for the hearing impaired but having so many people on stage was distracting. I think having one show for the hearing impaired would be better or just having one ASL for the entire show. On top of that I didn't appreciate males playing female roles and vice versa and don't appreciate that pushed on my children. That was really the nail in the coffin for me and I won't be returning with my children for that reason alone.
