Our Story
Founded in the spring of 2021, Backyard Kids Theater began its journey with a small group of 14 theater-loving kids performing on a tennis court in Mill Valley during the height of Covid. Just two months later, the magic continued with a production of Peter Pan featuring 8 talented young performers in a Sonoma backyard. Since then, BKT has blossomed into a vibrant community, moving into beautiful theater spaces and producing over 16 shows, enriching the lives of hundreds of Bay Area children and their families.
Backyard Kids Theater is dedicated to meeting each child at their own level, teaching them new skills, and nurturing their growth through encouragement and positivity. With high expectations and a structured environment, children are set up for success, learning the value of teamwork and creativity. The emphasis is always on the process, with the final production serving as a delightful celebration of their hard work and collaboration.
