The Making of a Theatre for Kids Experience

In this episode of The Brighter Futures Podcast, we take listeners behind the curtain of Rodman for Kids’ Theatre for Kids program with Theatre for Kids Coordinator, Chase Kerman. Together, we explore everything that goes into creating a Theatre for Kids experience – from the earliest planning conversations to the final bow – and the intentional decisions that help every child feel welcomed, included, and inspired.

Co-hosted by Bill Stiles, Director of Programs at Rodman for Kids, this conversation explores how accessibility, strong partnerships, and intentional design create experiences that help every child feel welcomed, included, and inspired. Together, they discuss why access to the arts is about expanding opportunities, helping young people discover what resonates with them, and ensuring every child has the chance to see new possibilities for themselves long after the final curtain falls.
