Nine O’Clock Players Theatre Program

Founded in 1929, the Assistance League Theater is one of the oldest continuously performing children’s theaters in the United States. Our mission for 92 years has been to introduce children to the magic of live performance, literature and music through the joy of theatre.

The Nine O’Clock Players (“NOP”) Theatre for Children Program annually hosts more than 12,000 children from the Los Angeles area. NOP provides two full musical productions of classic children’s literature with life lessons adapted for children today. Field trips to the theater, at no or low cost, are provided to school children and families, particularly low-income and special needs students who might not be otherwise exposed to the magic of live theatre. During the pandemic, NOP even developed virtual performances and educator resources to provide meaningful arts enrichment that brings the magic of theatre into your home!

Cinderella: The True Story

Based on the classic fairy tale, Cinderella: The True Story tells the story of the kind-hearted Cinderella who fights for a world where everyone from tailors to kings learns that bigger isn’t always better and that to truly be rich we should all share what we have. This delightful musical production has singing, dancing, princes in disguise, and a fairy godmother who doesn’t always get things right.
