Who We Are

 

K2K Productions has existed for 19 years as a weekly theatre arts program for students in grades 2-12. Students in each K2K Company experience small groups and mentoring, coaching in singing, dancing and acting and preparing for a full-scale musical. We desire that every student will find a place to belong, a place to fit in and their purpose. VISTO Performing Arts Camp launched Summer 2023 to support the needs and interests of students while offering weekly performances and engagement opportunities for families and the community.

 

We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for young people to grow in faith and develop skills no matter their experiences, background or limitations.


At K2K Productions, we value all employees and job candidates as unique individuals, and we welcome the variety of experiences they bring to our company. As such, we have a strict non-discrimination policy. We believe everyone should be treated equally regardless of race, sex, gender identification, sexual orientation, national origin, native language, religion, age, or disability.
