About the YS Kids Playhouse

YSKP is a one of a kind experience putting youth on the ground floor of an artistic endeavor with big themes and big ideas. The ineffable effect of creating all original work includes ownership and excitement of doing something-playing a part-that none have done before. It’s a step into the unknown, the future, and it engenders the ability and the confidence to creatively reach a goal as a team and a community. Our plays seek to achieve an aesthetic understanding of the complex times in which we live. Whether focusing on social behavior, historical events, teen culture, the environment, or small town life, YSKP productions metaphorically explore the question: How do we live? – John Fleming, YSKP Founder and Artistic Director

Outside is Nice

On Saturday the cast of the Cotton Club had their first rehearsal in the Ampitheatre. It took slightly longer than expected, but we successfully re-blocked every single scene to fit in the larger space. Performing outside in such a large space feels amazing. Inside the rehearsal space my energy feels restrained, but outside my energy seems to burst at the seams! I am very excited for the opening of the Cotton Club, and expect it to be quite a good show.
