Give a Kid Center Stage

Give a kid center stage.

Piknik Theatre believes kids belong on stage, and not only in the summer. With Opera Steamboat and Steamboat Dance Theater, we give local children a place to sing, act, dance and create all year long, and we give their parents dependable care they can afford.

Where your gift goes

Camps: A full day of singing, acting and creating for local kids, and dependable childcare for the parents who need it. Camps run on teacher work days, school breaks and throughout the summer. Camp costs $150 a day. Families pay $100 or less, and local educators and scholarship families pay even less.

School productions: We support local productions at public schools so more kids get to be in the show.

Summer theatre: We bring kids into our summer theatre lineup, so they get a real stage.

Fairy Tale Theater: Free to the community, but the actors and costumes still cost money.

What your gift does

$100: one child, one full day

$200: two children, one full day

$500: one child, a full week

$1,000: one child, two weeks

Our goal is $25,000 for youth programs by December 31. Gifts made online through Colorado Gives Day on Tuesday, December 8 are boosted by the Colorado Gives $1 million Incentive Fund, and early giving is open now.
