Summerstage-July 30-11

SUMMERSTAGE for performers who have completed Grades K–1

The perfect first step into the world of theater and imagination! SummerStage for performers who have completed Kindergarten and First Grade introduces our youngest performers to the joy of storytelling, teamwork, and creative expression through play-based learning led by Kidstock!’s team of theater professionals and educators.

Each week features two beloved storybooks that are merged together over the course of the program to inspire a brand-new, student-created adventure. Students first explore each author’s story up to its moment of conflict — then use their own ideas and imaginations to act out unique solutions and self-authored endings. The possibilities are endless as young actors take ownership of their stories and learn that every creative choice has value!

During this explorative process, children play multiple roles from the storybooks, developing empathy and understanding as they bring different characters to life. Through guided activities in drama, dance, art, and music, students strengthen teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills while experiencing the magic of collaborative creation.

Each week concludes with a joyful, one-of-a-kind presentation that celebrates the power of imagination — because at Kidstock!, every story ends happily and creatively ever after.

(Flexible single-day registration is available on select weeks; please note, single-day weeks will not include a final presentation.)

Weekly Themes

JUNE 22–26

Classic Books Week
INDIVIDUAL DAYS! Turn the page into the stage! Each day begins with a beloved book that jumps off the shelf and onto the theater floor. Roar with Max and the Wild Things, sketch new worlds with Harold and his purple crayon, keep the Pigeon from driving the bus or race alongside Percy Jackson on a mythic quest. Bring characters to life and write new chapters of their own.

JUNE 29–JULY 3

World Landmarks Week
INDIVIDUAL DAYS! Pack your bags for a globe-trotting adventure! Each day kids “arrive” at a new world landmark — the leaning Tower of Pisa, the Pyramids of Egypt, or the Great Wall of China — and dive into its wonder. We'll create art, music, and drama inspired by each location. The whole world becomes our stage, one landmark at a time.

JULY 6–10

Mermaids & Pirates
Mermaid Mayhem & Pirate Puzzels! Dive beneath the waves where mermaids sing, pirates sail, and sea creatures share stories of treasure, teamwork, and tidal waves of laughter!

JULY 13–17

Famous Paintings Week
INDIVIDUAL DAYS! Each day begins with a masterpiece of art that sparks a full day of creativity. Van Gogh’s swirling Starry Night inspires a shadowy dance under a painted sky, or da Vinci’s Mona Lisa smiles her way into a comic mystery scene. Paint, move, sing, and act your way through the worlds hidden inside famous artworks, discovering how a picture can truly be worth a thousand silly stories.

AUGUST 24–28

Legendary Journeys Week
INDIVIDUAL DAYS! Each day celebrates a great adventure — Dorothy skipping down the Yellow Brick Road, Odysseus sailing across the sea, Moana voyaging beyond the reef, or Alice tumbling through Wonderland. Kids will invent art that captures the journey, use music and movement to bring obstacles to life, and perform their own comic twists on these timeless travels. Every step is another scene in the adventure of a lifetime.
