Delaware Children's Theatre

Entertaining audiences of all ages for 50 seasons

It’s our 50th Anniversary!

DCT, founded by Marie Swajeski, has been bringing the best in classic family entertainment to our community for 5 decades. Help us celebrate by purchasing your ticket and considering a donation to our historic non-profit theatre!

Welcome to our DCT 2022-23 SEASON!

So, thanks for supporting live theater, live music and our historic family theatre which has been in business in our renowned Victorian Theatrehouse for over 50 seasons!

It’s DCT’s 50th season!

50 years of quality family entertainment is a proud accomplishment.

But it’s one that only happens with support.

Has DCT ever touched your life? Have you enjoyed a show at our historic theatre? Can you help us celebrate our incredible 50th?

We’d like to ask a favor.

Since we are the stewards of an historic building that needs much care, and have come out of uncertain times with the pandemic, we’re in an important re-building phase which will enable us to be around for the next 50 years. So we’re asking our DCT friends to consider donating $50.00 for 50 seasons!

$50 for 5 decades of music, laughter, art and community enhancement. And $50 to help with our electric bill.

We need new stage lights, which we have not purchased in years. They will greatly enhance our productions and most of all, LED lights will lower our electric cost significantly.

Please consider making a tax deductible donation today in honor of our 50 years. And in return, you have our deepest thanks and will get your name on the Patron Wall at our gala. Thank you!!!

It’s DCT’s 50th season!

We’re planning such a fun Wonderland party with music, a Broadway stage revue, great food, desserts, drinks, and lots of fun surprises, so please join us Saturday January 27, 6PM to 9PM. We’re saving you a seat at our DCT 50th Anniversary Wonderland Party.

Mad hats are optional.

Due to recent unavoidable scheduling conflicts with key DCT partners and participants for our 50th anniversary celebration, we have postponed our event until January 27th. We promise the event will be worth the wait.
