For 36 years, Storybook Theatre, founded by Lloyd J. Schwartz and Barbara Mallory Schwartz, has been presenting musicals for young audiences. The shows, adapted from classic tales and featuring beloved characters, are neither violent nor scary. Parents can feel good about watching them with their children, especially those aged 3 through 9.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, young audiences have not been able to see Storybook Theatre shows in person. Now, Storybook Theatre offers six of its audience-favorite shows via YouTube for free any time on demand. Shows range in length from 43 to 58 minutes. The titles in the Live from Storybook Theatre streaming series are “Sleeping Beauty,” “Hansel and Gretel,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Goldilocks.”

The shows are wholesome, tune-filled and contain the humor and warmth that have made Storybook Theatre a family favorite for over three decades. The musicals are written, composed, directed and performed by the artists of Theatre West, Hollywood’s nonprofit professional theatre where Storybook Theatre makes its home.

The Live from Storybook Theatre series is made possible in part through the support of L.A.’s Department of Cultural Affairs.
