The Manhattan Children's Theatre has been entertaining New Yorkers with its adaptations of literary classics since 2002. Performances are on Saturdays and Sundays at 12:00 and 2:00 pm.

The MCT has several birthday party options, including a private performance, a party at the theatre after the show, or a rental option -- perfect for parties on weekday afternoons. All parties include activities, party helpers and tables and chairs. Tickets are $15 each, though group discounts are available. Bookings for the show should be made one month in advance.
