About
The Summer Theatre Fundraiser & Enrichment Program focuses on acting, singing, dancing, and stage presence. Students take part in a no-cut theater enrichment program that is open to all District 41 students from kindergarten through 8th grade, with no experience required. Past productions have included The Lion King (2022), Moana Jr. (2023), Beauty and the Beast (2024), and Seussical (2025), and The Little Mermaid is coming to Glen Ellyn this summer.
• Ages: Kindergarten–8th grade
Under the guidance of local director Gina Wood, students develop skills in acting, singing, dancing, and stage presence while learning teamwork, responsibility, and creative problem-solving. The program is hosted each year by the D41 Kids Foundation as its largest fundraiser, and each show has helped raise significant funds to support District 41 students and their families. The theatre program has given 75 children the chance to take the stage and gave 75 aspiring thespians an opportunity to shine, raising over $21,000 to support D41 Kids Foundation programs. The D41 Kids Foundation’s mission is to strengthen public education in D41 through adaptive partnerships, strategic investments, and advocacy for initiatives that prioritize equity and prepare students to be global citizens.
