Smarty Party Idea: Children's Theatre of Winston-Salem

By Guest Blogger Theresa Willie with intro by Katie M

Let me quickly chime in to say that I recently took my six-year-old daughter, Emily, to a play at the Children's Theatre of Winston-Salem. It was our first time there and we watched Aladdin - a story my daughter knows and loves. Our experience was over-the-top. We thoroughly enjoyed the theatre and the performance by the children. Emily especially liked being able to mingle with the actors after the show. It was an event to remember, and we'll definitely be back for another show - and quite possibly some classes for my little drama queen! - KM

For my daughter’s 9th birthday, I struggled with finding the perfect party place. From the first conversation I had with Karen McHugh, general manager at The Children's Theatre of Winston-Salem, I knew we were in for an awesome experience. She was very helpful, thoughtful and especially accommodating.


The children began with playing a few games to help them get acquainted. Next we had a fabulous behind-the-scenes tour of the theatre. This was a special treat and the children really enjoyed themselves. Everyone was given a special role in a play, written by the theatre based on my daughter’s favorite theme. At the end of the party the play was performed on stage for all of the parents to see. My daughter loved every minute.

Every detail was attended to and I was ultimately able to relax and enjoy the party too. I even had a part in the grand finale! All of the children loved the experience they had for Tiara’s birthday. Not to mention my younger daughter was begging on the ride home to have her party there in January! We highly recommend having an unforgettable birthday experience with the Children’s Theatre of Winston Salem. I could not have chosen a better place to celebrate my daughter’s special day.

The Children's Theatre of Winston-Salem is located at 610 Coliseum Drive in Winston-Salem. Phone: (336) 725-4531.
