A bold new chapter in the Kidstock! journey — and a return to our original signature programming for middle school performers! The Jesters offers performers in sixth, seventh & eighth grade an immersive weeklong experience that recreates the excitement and challenge of a traditional SUMMER STOCK tour, expanding their “Passport to Play!” beyond our walls and out into the community.

Each week features a fully scripted parody production, written in advance and inspired by our season’s destination-themed adventures. During the first three days, performers rehearse, memorize lines, refine character choices, and collaborate with Kidstock!’s professional teaching artists to bring the story to life with energy and imagination.

The final two days of each week take the company “on tour”, where their Passport to Play becomes a passport to perform. Jesters present their show at local libraries, senior centers, and summer programs — adapting to new spaces, setting up their own scenery and props, and engaging audiences through interactive storytelling.

Everything you loved about Kidstock! when you were younger is now scaled up in creativity, independence, and performance challenge — offering older students a summer experience unlike any other in the greater Boston area. The Jesters don’t just tell stories… they take them on the road!
