The Kidz Kabaret Story

Kidz Kabaret is a non-profit children’s theater education group.  We began in 2003 with 18 passionate students desiring to learn the craft of acting and singing.  Under the leadership of founder and Creative Director Kandiss Hernandez, a professional and degreed actor, Kidz Kabaret has grown to over 300 students annually. 

Kidz Kabaret has a “no-audition” policy.  Every child is welcome, regardless of experience, and we strongly believe in putting “every child center stage”.  Our programs allow students to develop at their own pace with nurturing and encouragement, and we enjoy watching their confident and passion blossom. 

Our students learn all aspects of developing a show, from marketing to make-up.  We are dedicated to presenting outstanding professional productions to audiences from Naperville and the surrounding area; we produce an average of ten to twelve productions each year at The Comedy Shrine in downtown Naperville.  Many of our plays are written by Hernandez, making our shows unique and only seen by our audiences.

Whether children are watching in the audience or performing on stage, the experience of live theater helps shape and define their lives.  We encourage you to come to our shows and see what we are all about.
