At the Institute of Children's Theatre & Creative Drama, we want to bring live theatre to children all over the world through quality, affordable shows that tour to schools and to teach educators the value of teaching with creative drama in workshops and classroom projects. First and foremost we bring quality children's theatre to all walks of life and do not discriminate based on race, gender, economic status. Our program is dedicated to performing live theatre that teaches children about personal values and the beauty of differences and similarities.

Tracy Goodwin, founder of the Institute of Children's Theatre and Creative Drama has been working in theatre for over 30 years. Tracy has directed over 50 children's theatre shows with professional performing troupes all over the world. In addition she has developed and taught numerous children's theatre classes and workshops and directed performance shows utilizing the talents of children. She has taught Teaching with Creative Drama workshops all over the country and has most recently published a creative drama book Changing Lessons, Changing Lives, the Ultimate Compilation of Creative Dramas for the Ultimate Teacher. She is currently very excited about directing the upcoming season of shows that will travel all over the country and her ultimate goal is to have touring shows travel to the far reaches of the earth where theatre is not readily available for children to experience. In addition, Tracy is excited about the possibility of in school collaborations for students to work on theatre projects.

Tracy also is the single mother of an autistic son and is excited about developing in- and out-of-school creative drama programs for children on the spectrum.
