ACT 3 Summer for Grades 2–3

The original program and curriculum upon which Kidstock! was founded over 30 years ago! Our experiential goal back then is the same as it is today: to empower students to stage an original show by supporting them with the resources, guidance and passion of theater professionals as their mentors and guides.

Every student in Act 3 explores what it is like to be a playwright, actor, designer, and stage crew member as they cycle through daily structured experiences in drama, dance, art, and music – all together building piece by piece into a final presentation each Friday.

​Each young actor owns a role, determines their own lines, and performs in the show. Students grow together as they stage their scenes, learn choreography, and challenge their artistic imaginations as they continue to rehearse for their live stage show at the end of the week. Every full week in Act 3 is a new theme and every show becomes an original musical production!

On select weeks in the summer, we offer flexible single day registration so you can sign up for as many days on those weeks that fits your schedule! ​Please note, single day registration weeks will not have a final presentation on Fridays.
