Flying House Productions has long appreciated the impact our Choruses have on people of every age, especially children. In addition to sponsoring an active Youth Ticket Program, Seattle Men’s Chorus (SMC) and Seattle Women’s Chorus (SWC) come together each spring to perform a family-friendly Kid’s Concert in order to extend the reach of the Choruses’ mission to young people. Now in its eleventh year, this year’s Kid’s Concert is a collaboration with Village Theatre’s KIDSTAGE program.

According to artistic director Dennis Coleman, the annual Kid’s Concert was originally conceived to fulfill a two-fold purpose. First, it gives kids a concert hall experience and an introduction to choral music that is both fun and entertaining. Second, it provides an opportunity for LGBT families to share safe, enjoyable performance experience together.

Dennis is delighted to welcome KIDSTAGE actors to the Choruses stage this year. 'This is a perfect opportunity for both of our organizations to contribute to a cross-cultural and cross-generational experience,' he said. 'There is always a great deal of costuming, dance, and visual interest that goes into the Kid’s Concert, and we are genuinely looking forward to working with KIDSTAGE to put on a wonderful, high-energy, family-friendly show.'

Since 1988, KIDSTAGE has 'used theatre to foster life skills in children aged 4-20,' said Kati Nickerson, director of youth education for Village Theatre. In classes and rehearsals, the kids cultivate their creative talent and learn flexibility and improvisation in ways that 'increase self-confidence and improve their futures' whether or not they are on a path to Broadway.

Nickerson said that KIDSTAGE jumped at the chance to participate in this year’s Kid’s Concert. 'We provide a safe space for a diverse array of kids, and importantly we take kids outside of their comfort zone to give them opportunities to stretch, grow, and mature into young adults,' she said. 'All of us at KIDSTAGE are excited to showcase our kids’ talent in an on-stage partnership with the men and women of the Choruses.' FHP invited KIDSTAGE to perform this year because, as marketing director Frank Stilwagner puts it, 'We felt it would be great for the kids in the audience to ‘see themselves’ on stage, and a great way to expose a wonderful youth education program in our region to a potential new audience.'
