Childsplay, Arizona's Theatre for Young Audiences & Families

2007-2008 Backstage Pass Program!

Levels | Schedule of Events | Join Backstage Pass

You read the books together. You see the shows that bring your favorite stories to life. Now, with a Backstage Pass membership, your family can go behind the scenes to explore Childsplay’s world of adventure, wonder, and imagination.

Your membership donation to the Backstage Pass Program will also help Childsplay bring the professional theatre your family loves to more than 200,000 Arizona schoolchildren this year – many of whom could not otherwise experience the performing arts. So, give the gift of theatre today, for your family and for children just like yours. We look forward to seeing you backstage!

Some of the Backstage Pass Experience levels have unique benefits and will be scheduled on an individual basis. Feel free to contact the Development Department at 480-921-5762 with any questions.

Below is a listing of this year’s Backstage Pass event dates. More detailed information on the events will be emailed several weeks prior the opening of each show, along with registration information. Please utilize this list as a guide when booking your tickets. We look forward to seeing you at the theatre!
