OUR PHILOSOPHY
Original Kids Theatre Company was not formed to create stars, as we believe each child already shines in their own way. We were formed because we believe by instilling our values in everything we do, we can help youth to grow and gain confidence in who they are. We do this by providing a safe and supportive environment where cast members are part of a community, made up of peers and mentors who are there to help one another. Youth can explore theatre without fear of judgment or ridicule, and our carefully chosen staff work hard to ensure each cast member gets to learn more about their passion of theatre, while also challenging them to meet new people, and explore new things. We believe that by doing this we can help a generation of youth become well-rounded, confident, supportive, kind individuals, who will make the world a better place.
