Kerfuffle is an award-winning midwestern theatre and dance company devoted to creating aesthetically and emotionally engaging performances for children ages 0-6 years old. Founded in 2015, Kerfuffle centers young children as major creative partners in the development of new work and shares playful, multi-sensory performances in museums, libraries, parks, and other nontraditional spaces.
Children’s imagination is at the center of Kerfuffle’s process. In order to understand what engages, delights, and surprises children, Kerfuffle’s plays are developed through creative drama workshops where young people create stories, characters, and worlds in collaboration with adult artists.
Kerfuffle is a registered 501(c)3 organization and is the 2020 recipient of the Zeta Phi Eta-Winifred Ward Outstanding New Children's Theatre Company Award through the American Alliance for Theatre and Education.

Business Review
“My daughters' eyes light up with wonder and bewilderment when we see anything from Kerfuffle. They are transported to a different time and space where everything relates to them in a whimsical way. It's only matched by the magical make-believe world inside their heads. Somehow, Kerfuffle knows how to tap into that inner world of a child.” -Kerfuffle Parent
“That was so fun and cute! And perfect for little ones!” -Kerfuffle Parent
“We value Kerfuffle for the unique theatrical experiences they offer to very young children and their guardians. In our community, we see people working hard to deliver high quality experiences to young children, but we’ve never seen a group of artists approach serving this population as collaboratively, and as creatively as Kerfuffle. Kerfuffle is extraordinary in its commitment to serving very young audiences in creative and collaborative ways." -Erin Poor, former Director of Education and Community Outreach, Lied Center for Performing Arts at the University of Nebraska Lincoln
