Chicago Kids Company Camps and Theatre Classes

Chicago Kids Company Summer Camp and Theatre Classes offers summer camp and theatre classes where children take part in performing in live theater. The program connects directly to Chicago Kids Company’s live productions, which are original musicals adapted from classic fairy tales and children’s stories. These shows feature professional actors, sing-along songs, brightly colored costumes and sets, and up-to-date references, and are described as perfect for field trips, family get-togethers, birthday parties, or a family outing.

• Ages: 2–10 years old

Chicago Kids Company was founded in 1992 as a non-profit theater company and is now in its 33rd season. The company has produced 53 original musicals based on fairy tales and children’s stories and performs for over 50,000 people each year. The two co-founders, Paige Coffman and Jesus Perez, still run the show and have written and produced every single CKC show for the past 33 years, including writing, directing, composing, designing, and creating the productions. All teachers have professional theatre experience and give each student what they describe as an unforgettable theatrical experience. Chicago Kids Company received the Award of Excellence in Theatre for Young Audiences from the Illinois Theatre Association in 2015.
