About
The Rabbit Hole Children’s Theater
The Rabbit Hole Children’s Theater is a place where imagination and pretend play take center stage! We are a team of artists and educators on a mission to empower children through the magic of make-believe.
At The Rabbit Hole, our emphasis is on process over performance. We’ve been developing our unique, play-based approach to arts education since 2013, and have worked with thousands of kiddos and their families over the years. Whether through in-person offerings at our studio in San Francisco, live productions and school outreach, our audio shows, or our pretend play kits, we are here to inspire through the power of storytelling and pretend play.
Empowering Children Through The Magic of Make-Believe
We believe that the answers for tomorrow lie in the imaginations of the kiddos of today. Our curriculum uses imaginative play and theatrical storytelling to nurture the creative spark within every child. Our heart-centered approach empowers kids to tap into their creative potential.
Learning Through Play
Research shows that when children are given the opportunity to engage in make-believe and play, they grow up with a greater sense of self and a more expansive view of the world. At Rabbit Hole, we see a future where creativity is valued just as highly as literacy and where the arts are recognized as a powerful tool for unlocking human potential.
Trust Your Spark
Our motto, “Trust Your Spark”, is an invitation for children and adults alike to listen to that inner voice and share your gifts with the world. We believe that every person has a unique creative spark waiting to be ignited– and that through nurture and play, we can help our little ones develop a deep sense of worthiness around their ideas and contributions.
We’re here to provide you with a creative curriculum that nurtures your child’s inner world and helps their imagination thrive.

“This place is a treasure, and so are the people working there.”
“A wonderful place that has the potential to make a lifelong impact on your kids!”
“My little one attended classes here from the time she was 1-4 years-old, and she loved every minute of it. This place will always have a special place in my heart.”
“We can only hope that the other teachers that we meet along our son’s educational path could be the wind in my son’s sails like Miss Meryl and Miss Jacquie have been.”
“Brooke and her team are awesome with the kiddos and spend time getting to know each one. Can’t rave about it enough!”
“Every week our children wait for the teacher, Jake, and his make-believe afternoon class. Jake creates a fabulous world of magic and imagination – and includes all children in his stories, songs and games. Our children are very excited to be in this class. It is pure fun and joy.”
“Presidio Knolls School is thrilled to have worked with Rabbit Hole Theater in our Auxiliary program for several years now. Their classes are unique, engaging and very popular with our students. Miss Mary does a wonderful job tailoring classes to be enjoyable for our students, children aged 3 to 12! We love seeing the kids create whimsical and magical moments with Rabbit Hole.”
“NVFC has been attending Rabbit Hole Theater for many years as part of our dedicated curriculum. Brooke leads a magical team of imaginative educators who delight our children with engaging, inspired and creative puppet shows. It has been a joy to see our kiddos light up with their creativity and imaginative play skills fully engaged. TRH does a beautiful job of inclusive and empowering make believe which has our children fully immersed. We especially appreciate the themed classes with emphasis on kindness and empathy. TRH remains one of our most beloved monthly outings. Highly recommend it.”
