Taubenslag Productions is a Professional Touring Children's Theater
Company dedicated to presenting quality family entertainment.
Our productions have been captivating audiences throughout the
nation since 1964. Our formula is simple: Never talk down to the
children; Always keep a fast pace; And visually stimulate their
imaginations. Our goal is not  merely
to entertain the children, but to bring out the child in their
parents as well; making it a memorable experience for everyone
in the entire family.
Our company began its residence at the Jan Hus Theater in New
York City in 1964. We were also the resident Children's Theater
company at the Middlesex County College for nineteen successful
years. In 1994, Taubenslag Productions began touring. In Bergen
County (NJ), we regularly sell out 2400 seats. Queens Theatre
in the Park (Flushing Meadows Corona Park) audiences rave that
we are the best company they've ever seen. Our author, Elliott
Taubenslag, is the proud recipient of the Dorothy Mullen Arts
and Humanities Award for "Best Children's Program in the
United States of America".
Another endeavor of the company, HOW I SURVIVE HIGH SCHOOL, an
original pop musical, toured the New Jersey high schools for ten
successful years from 1986 -1996. The assembly program, which
confronts the issues of teenage life, was so popular with student
and school administrators, that the company created HOW I SURVIVE
HIGH SCHOOL - PART II and PART III to meet the growing demand.
The final chapter of HOW I SURVIVE HIGH SCHOOL landed it in high
schools throughout the country, as it is now available to Drama
Clubs to perform as their Spring Musical.
During the summer, Taubenslag Productions runs two successful
Children's Theater Camps. One at Middlesex County College in Edison
New Jersey and the other in East Brunswick NJ. Each week the campers
present a different show to over 900 audience members.
THEATER WEEK, a week-long self esteem building program, has been
successful in hundreds of Elementary Schools throughout the tri-state.
Our original musical comedies for children have been entertaining
and delighting families nationwide. We have built a reputation
that keeps our audiences coming back year after year. Our motto:
"Give our audiences a day they'll never forget!"
