A Community Arts Center

Family Fun Series

Since 2007, the Playhouse Family Fun Series has celebrated youth theatre for children and families at the Arcata Playhouse with public and school performances of theater, storytelling, puppetry, and variety performing arts.  The series has hosted performers from all around the globe like California, Oregon, Washington, Maine, Canada, Australia, Scotland, France, and England to perform for Humboldt County children and their families.  The series strives to bring young people in contact with the performing arts in a safe intimate setting and host high-quality artists at a low-cost.  The Playhouse partners with the California Arts Council, the Humboldt County Office of Education and local business sponsors to bring this annual Family Fun to the community.
