Creative Kids Day at Northern Sky

Molly Rhode. Submitted.

For more than a decade, Northern Sky Theater has offered Creative Kids Day, a day dedicated to children and teens interested in learning more about what it means to be part of a professional musical theater troupe. Youth have the opportunity to look behind the scenes, play theater games, join in on cast sing-a-longs, and sneak a peek inside the dressing rooms.

Led by veteran company member and Associate Artistic Director Molly Rhode, participants will have the additional experience of learning a song, dance and scene from Boxcar with the end result of performing a short bit for their family and friends. Northern Sky is also joined by special guests from the National Railroad Museum, who will help kids discover the secrets of hobo life.

Children and teens ages 6 to 16 will have the option of choosing one of two sessions taking place on July 13 from 9:30 am – 12 pm or 1 – 3:30 pm. Each session is limited to 30 participants. Admission is $30 per child. A state park sticker is required to attend. Each participant also receives a t-shirt they can have signed by the cast and crew.

Additionally, Northern Sky will have their new coloring book, Color the Northern Sky, available for purchase at the event. Coloring book artist and Northern Sky intern Maggie Godfrey will be on hand to do a book signing together with the book’s author and Northern Sky performer, Chase Stoeger.
