SUMMER 2020 - WE HAVE a 'perfect vision' for creative fun!
Jester TroupeThe Jester Troupe summer program explores traditional children's theater in new and creative ways for older kids and pre-teens. Jester Troupe students learn how to "workshop" a show to build a final product together and to develop their own individual character and voice within the role they assume onstage.
Every week, students work on inventive and original one-week titles to create an original musical. Focused tutorial sessions with our trained experts over the course of the day build acting skills, foster creative set and show design, and grow choreography and vocal instruction. This unique stage experience also helps budding young actors build audition skills for the future. But here at Kidstock! no auditions are required to join the Jester Troupe, just an enthusiasm and curiosity for theater! By the end of each week, every student in the Jester Troupe performs in a leading role they create for themselves. |

"It is a great place to have fun and be creative. Kids get over stage fear, learn to work as a team and execute the planned sequence of tasks/scenes. They develop love for song and dance." |
"Kidstock celebrates the unique, creative spirit in each child. My children have continued to blossom summer after summer and can't wait to return the following year." |
"Kidstock! was a great camp. I loved my interactions with the other campers and counselors, and being in the show was really fun."
