Since its inception, the School Tour has played for over three million children in Northern California. The performances are a great way to introduce children to live theatre by expressing the art of telling stories on stage.

In addition to producing professional touring productions, B Street Theatre holds an annual playwriting festival and contest for students. The festival was created to provide a forum for the dramatic voice of youth and to assist children in developing literary skills, problem solving techniques, and a mode of artistic expression. This process stimulates the intellect and enhances self-esteem by providing validation of creative ideas and work efforts. Selected plays are performed during the Spring School Tour, and a special show-case performance is held at B Street Theatre in Sacramento.
