TYA 2026/2027 Season Subscription

✦ A Season of Wonder: TYA’s Inaugural Season at Fairfield Theatre Company Get ready to dream big! We’re thrilled to bring this beloved theater series for young audiences to its new home at Fairfield Theatre Company. After delighting families for years at Bridgeport’s Downtown Cabaret, TYA begins its first season at FTC with four timeless tales, each reimagined with a fresh, modern twist and packed with popular songs that theatergoers of all ages will love. The journey begins in the glow of the holidays with Christmas Express (Nov/Dec), an all-aboard adventure about believing in the magic of the season. In the new year, Cinderella (Jan/Feb) reminds us that kindness and courage can transform even the most ordinary life into something extraordinary. Come spring, Peter Pan (Feb/Mar) sweeps us off to Neverland, where imagination takes flight and staying young at heart is the greatest adventure of all. Finally, The Wizard of Oz (Apr/May) carries us somewhere over the rainbow for a heartfelt reminder that courage, heart, and home have been inside us all along. Four stories. One inspiring truth: the magic we're searching for lives within each of us, and a little belief, kindness, and imagination can carry us anywhere. Together, these shows invite young audiences to dream bigger, believe in themselves and experience the joy of live theater. ➜ Available for field trips, family outings, and more! TYA offers an imaginative live theater experience in a setting that welcomes everyone. ❓Frequently Asked Questions Does every child need a ticket? Yes.
