Nashville Children's Theatre is at 25 Middleton Street , Nashville, TN.

In 1931 Nashville Children’s Theatre was formed by the Junior League of Nashville as an amateur theatre, opening with a production of “Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp.”. At that time, the Junior League was fulfilling a commitment to establish children’s theatre in many U.S. cities. For years, NCT performed in numerous local landmarks, including Belcourt Theatre, and at Vanderbilt and Belmont Universities. In the late 50’s, Ann Stahlman Hill undertook the monumental task of creating a permanent home for NCT. Hill had designed sets and costumes for NCT and also served on the theatre’s board for years in the various positions of secretary, treasurer and president. She organized a collection of like-minded individuals, and with her leadership they petitioned legislatures, talked with families in the neighborhood, and persistently fundraised, until NCT had a home beside the Howard School building and Lindsley Hall, opening in 1960.
