About Very Merry Theatre in Burlington, VT

The Very Merry Theatre began as a small summer camp in Charlotte and Burlington and has since grown to become a theater company for children that performs one-of-a-kind plays at schools and community centers across Northwest Vermont. Executive Director Don Wright, who had three boys attending Edmunds Elementary School at the time, was instrumental in getting these early productions off the ground. These productions set the foundation for the organization's creative potential and served as a stepping stone for the theater's growth. At Very Merry Theatre, we are passionate about promoting the growth of a vibrant community by providing children of all ages and backgrounds with the opportunity to practice theater. We believe that through the work and play that goes into creating theater, we are fostering literary and theater skills, self-confidence, and pride. Our commitment to this mission is evident in our annual productions at schools and community centers, our Travelling Theater Summer Camps, and our studio in Burlington’s Old North End Community Center.
