CMC Center Stage

World-Class Performances on the Small Stage!

The Children's Museum of Cleveland is bringing world-class performances to the small stage with our CMC Center Stage performance series. With generous support from our program sponsors, CMC is excited to announce that we will be offering free performances through CMC Center Stage every month in 2023!


A live performance can stimulate imagination, promote emotional development, and teach children about different cultures. Join us for a series of interactive and age-appropriate performances of music, theater, and dance, presented without the barriers that traditional performance venues can have for families with young children. Floor seating, free admission, and an entirely early-childhood audience give our youngest learners an approachable space to wiggle, giggle, and enjoy the arts. 


All events are held in the Museum's Theater exhibit and are FREE with CMC Membership and General Admission. No reservations or additional tickets are required to attend the performances.


Join CMC's Member family and never miss a performance!

This series is presented with support from:

This engagement is supported by the Arts Midwest GIG Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from Ohio Arts Council.
