Real Art for Growing Hearts

Little Blue Theatre Company produces inclusive, professional theatre for and with young people, from birth through adolescence, in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. We believe children deserve art that reflects the full complexity of their experience. We center belonging, access, and authentic collaboration in everything we make, and we believe that creating space for every child to be fully themselves is not a soft ideal. It’s the work.

Honoring children not for who they will become, but for who they already are.

What People are Saying About Little Blue Theatre

I cannot wait to see the work that Little Blue Theatre Company does to celebrate the lives of young people. I feel confident this theatre company will enrich the community, and bring truly beautiful stories to light.

Our son has grown as an actor and person through the many learning experiences, performance opportunities, and friendships developed in Mr. Colin's theatre programs. Mr. Colin's leadership fosters children's kindness, collaboration, and imagination -- both on and off the stage. We are so grateful for Mr. Colin's commitment to creating a theatre space in which all children can thrive.

Our son first met Ms. Jackie when he was 4 years old, and he quickly declared that his theater program with Ms. Jackie was "the happiest days of his life." He was always excited to start each class, and was always sure to be the last one to leave. Ms. Jackie has become a teacher, mentor, and inspiration in our son's life.

Although Little Blue Theatre is new, the direction it is under is what has guided many students in Nashville to the arts. Colin, Jackie, and Alicia are real people that care. I am so excited to see this form and I cannot imagine the wealth of positive impact that it is going to make.

The team is amazing with young stars and are so passionate and ecstatic within their role as theatre educators and administrators. They each employ a strengths based approach to their work, emphasizing the resilience that young people already have blossoming inside, whether they realize it or not! I’ve trusted them with my education as a young actor and teaching artist, and i advise those with little to as well!

All Smiles

A professional production
For Ages 0-6 and their Families
Presented at the CPAS Black Box
Located in Centennial Park
Created by Samantha Provenzano

How do you smile? On the outside—or just on the inside?

All Smiles is a joyful, interactive performance for ages 0–6 that celebrates the full spectrum of emotion. Through color, movement, and sensory play, young audiences help characters move through moments of upset, excitement, and disappointment.

This isn’t about “calming down.” It’s about learning to move through big feelings safely, together—practicing real regulation tools through play.

Heart with Number One
For Ages 0-6

• This show invites little ones to move, explore, and engage however they like!
• For our littlest viewers, we make sure the story comes right to them, perfect for little eyes still learning to see the world.
