The theater sold 345 tickets and 2/3 of those tickets were adult tickets, so the theater sold 345 * 2/3 = 230 adult tickets.
Each adult ticket cost $13.95, so the theater made 230 * $13.95 = $3213 from the sale of adult tickets.
Since children's tickets cost 2/3 of the amount of adult tickets, each children's ticket cost 2/3 * $13.95 = $9.30.
The theater sold 345 - 230 = 115 children's tickets.
Therefore, the theater made $9.30 * 115 = $1069.50 from the sale of children's tickets.
Thus, the theater made $1069.50 from the sale of children's tickets.
