FLT’s Children’s Theatre, known as the Schoolhouse Players, is a group of adult volunteers who perform plays during the school day. Students come to the Theatre as part of a field trip from their various schools.

FLT is happy to bring the magic of live theatre into the lives of thousands of children each year, hoping to enrich their futures by giving them an appreciation of the arts. Since its inception twelve years ago, over 90,000 children have seen the plays offered by FLT’s Children’s Theatre. FLT is proud to play such an important role in the education of today’s youth.

Study Guides are available for each production shortly before each show and are mailed out to the teachers. The study guide is designed to enhance enjoyment and understanding of each play, FLT Study Guides include a description of the play, theatre etiquette, theatre terms, history, vocabulary, things to do, things to think about and activities to explore after seeing the performance. Great for teachers and parents!

By: Kevin Reese
What do you do when you're having a Christmas party and the big gingerbread cookie your mom made for desert decides it doesn't want to stay? You reason with it, plead with it, sing to it, chase it, and even make a deal with it--just like anybody else. But don't worry, the party is a BIG success!

The Little Red Hen

By: Kevin Reese
At the Little Red Hen’s Chicken Coop and Boarding House, our hostess has been trying to get her silly friends, the Cat, Dog and Mouse, to help her make some bread from scratch, but they always seem to have something more important to do. It's not until the Little Red Hen does all the work herself and sits down to eat the bread that the friends learn a very important lesson about friendship.

Peter Rabbit

Silly Peter Rabbit! His brothers and sisters always try to keep him away from trouble. His mother warns him about going into Mr. McGregor's garden but he won't listen. He gets trapped inside the garden fence and barely gets out in time. If that wasn’t enough excitement, Cousin Benjamin comes over and calls Peter a chicken. Peter HAS to go back to the garden now! You can bet they'll get out safely, after they learn a valuable lesson!
