Welcome to the Peacock Children’s Theatre PCT was founded by Rita Harden under the sponsorship of the Community Foundation of Crawford County in 2010. The purpose and nature of the Peacock Children’s Theatre, Inc., a Southern Indiana regional theatre, is to encourage and foster participation in the theatre arts. The PCT is primarily by and for children. Our actors perform at different venues to offer educational and enriching family productions all ages to enjoy. Our 2010 performance of CHARLOTTE’S WEB was warmly welcomed by the community and kicked off our run of 18 stage productions to date. PCT became in independent 501c3 in 2012. We thank the CFCC for their support and help they provided the PCT to spread our wings and to walk as proud as a Peacock. We are now operated solely by volunteers and supported by donations, ticket sales and playbill advertising. Peacock Children's Theatre - A regional theatre FOR children BY children!
