Who We Are

 

K2K Productions has existed for 20 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.
