Our storied history, continued...

By March of 2020, WCT offered three different programs in West Los Angeles for children in elementary, middle school, and high school in theaters such as The Electric Lodge, Promenade Playhouse, The Morgan-Wixson Theatre, The Odyssey, as well as both The Little Theatre and The Freud at UCLA. At this time, WCT was also in its second year expanding their program at UCLA Lab School.

Of course, the world shut down due to COVID-19 in Spring 2020. WCT successfully pivoted its program online, launching a summer program and full school year season, bringing kids together from all across the country. By the summer of 2021, craving in-person connection and with COVID expanding its own variant program, Westside Children’s Theatre announced a hiatus until it felt safe to come back together in person.

In Fall 2022, after an intermission of approximately 525,600 minutes, Jerelyn rounded up the team to open the doors of WCT back up again. "Oh, the thinks you can think" took on a whole new meaning as the grand re-opening show, Seussical KIDS, marked the beginning of a new era for the company.
