Childsplay (Theater group)

Childsplay, a non-profit professional theatre for young people and their families, began producing theatre in 1977 in Tempe, Arizona with six actors, founding artistic director, David Saar, and as much set as would fit into the trunk of a 1967 Chevrolet. When the company toured, they performed in open spaces with the audience seated around them and on formal stages. David Saar, playwright, director, administrator, Arizona artist-in-education, Arizona State University adjunct faculty, guest director at other American professional theatre companies, and actor has been the artistic director since the beginning of the company.
