OVERVIEW
Every child deserves a chance to be in the spotlight! Whether your kid is a stage veteran or a fresh-faced newbie, they will experience musical theater in a whole new way. With our tag-team approach to casting, every child gets a starring part as well as being in the ensemble.
The Kids Company staff will rehearse shows full of acting, singing, and dancing, while incorporating positive lessons through the theater arts. Our cast members will build confidence, flexibility, empathy, and find themselves uplifting the strengths in others. In our welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, our kids will find themselves astonished by what they can accomplish!
Fall in love with a wonderful new show each week! You’ll be amazed by how hard these kids work and how much fun they will have! With only six days of fast-paced rehearsals, our cast will put on a final Saturday performance for friends and family.

Business Review
"I just wanted to drop you a note to congratulate you and all of the staff on such a fabulous performance! It was amazing in so many ways- it was really, really well done but it was also so clear that the kids were having so much fun and it was so equitable! You all did such a wonderful job making sure that all the kids had the chance to have a significant part and clearly they felt that."
