Corn Stock for Kids is our program that is for children ages 7 to 18. Workshops and shows are part of our schedule each year for children of this age to start getting involved and learning about community theatre and Corn Stock. Whether it’s being in the ensemble, painting a set, learning about costumes or props, or being the lead as an older child, there is room for everyone in Corn Stock for Kids.

It is the summer of 1903, and everyone in the Smith family eagerly anticipates the opening of the 1904 World’s Fair. Over the course of a year, the family’s mutual respect, tempered with good-natured humor, helps them through romance, opportunity, and heartbreaks. The musical includes seven of the best-loved songs from the film, plus ten additional Martin and Blane songs written specially for the stage. Memorable musical numbers include “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “The Boy Next Door,” “The Trolley Song,” and “Whenever I’m with You.”
