Children’s Playshop Since its inception in 1994, the JMU Children’s Playshop has been entertaining families from across the Shenandoah Valley with quality family theatre.

Playshop Directors William Buck and Pam Johnson have maintained a commitment to quality in all aspects of production. The sets, lights and costumes receive the highest level of care and creativity.

The goal of Children’s Playshop is to serve as many children and families as possible-regardless of socioeconomic background-while maintaining a level of excellence Playshop audiences have come to expect.
