Sponsored by AEP and supported by PSO, children in grades K–12 have the opportunity to show off their skills in front of a live audience at Gathering Place! From poetry and singing, to playing instruments and dancing, Kids Take the Stage will give children the chance to build their confidence and presentation skills through performance. Kids Take the Stage is free to attend and does not have a participation fee. Kids participating may take the stage solo or as a group but must apply in advance. This festive event will also include dance performances by the Gather Round Crew and circus performances by Inspyral, as well as interactive portions to get the entire audience involved!
