The original program and curriculum upon which Kidstock! was founded over 30 years ago! Our experiential goal remains the same today as it was then — to empower students to take ownership of the creative process by providing them with the resources, guidance, and enthusiasm of theater professionals as their mentors and collaborators.

Each week, students in SummerStage for performers who have completed Fourth and Fifth Grade bring a parody titled play to life through imagination, teamwork, and personal expression. Every performer develops their character, personalizes lines, and contributes creative ideas that shape the final performance. Throughout the week, structured experiences in drama, dance, art, and music guide students through staging scenes, learning choreography, designing sets and props, and building toward a polished Friday presentation.

By the end of the week, every young actor has had the opportunity to act, sing, dance, and design within a fully original play inspired by that week’s “Passport to Play” parody title. Each session celebrates collaboration, creativity, and confidence — ensuring that no two shows are ever the same, because every story is uniquely Kidstock!

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