Inspiring young audiences.

✱ Coming to Tulsa in 2026
Children are growing up in a complex and often overwhelming world. They deserve spaces where they can slow down, wonder, and feel truly seen. At a time when they are longing for understanding, connection, and care, Redbud Theatre steps forward to create professional theatre that helps us practice those things together.
Founded on the belief that children are already deep thinkers and brave feelers, Redbud’s productions will be designed specifically for young audiences. Through live performance, we will invite children to laugh, imagine, and make sense of their world alongside their grown-ups. The stories brought to life on stage will spark conversation, deepen understanding, and have an impact that lasts long after the curtain falls.
Redbud is where children are welcomed as they are, where imagination is honored, and where theatre becomes a seed from which empathy, curiosity, and a commitment to community can grow.
Professional theatre that grows imagination, empathy, and community.
