San Jose Children’s Theater


Quality theater for ages 5-25

The South Bay Children’s Musical Theater (SBCMT) is dedicated to offering high quality performing arts experiences to kids ages 5-25 in San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Mountain View, Fremont, and surrounding South Bay communities.

Whether singing and dancing in a multimedia musical revue, appearing in an original film on the silver screen, or recording a song in a professional sound studio, SBCMT participants and families enjoy a unique experience with big production value for a limited time commitment. Unlike most productions that offer a handful of parts with leading characters, our one of a kind shows are custom created for each cast, allowing us to give everyone opportunities for singing, speaking and dancing roles. Local South Bay kids get a chance to shine in our colorful and elaborate shows featured at the Saratoga Civic Theater. Our convenient 10-week program with one rehearsal per week, makes participation in SBCMT productions fun and easy for busy South Bay families.
