The Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine’s Maddy’s Theatre is the oldest continuously operating children’s theatre in the nation.

Celebrating one hundred years this year, the Children’s Theatre has found its home at Thompson’s Point where it can truly “unleash magic” and inspire joy and discovery. We are delighted that “Maddy’s Theatre” will not only host productions for children and families, but will also provide the northern New England community with an additional performing arts space.
