“Theater is like a gym for empathy. It's where we can go to build up the muscles of compassion, to practice listening and understanding and engaging with people that are not just like ourselves. We practice sitting down, paying attention and learning from other people's actions. We practice caring.” - Bill English of San Francisco's SF Playhouse

We believe producing the highest quality shows for children is kind of a big deal. Our mission at Happy Chicken Theater is to create thoughtful, magical, hysterical, informational, transformational theater for young audiences!  Using innovative devising techniques, puppetry, dance, poetry, music - basically anything that is awe inspiring to us – we design shows meant to stimulate emotions, thoughts, and laughter in our audiences.
