KidzAct is the premiere youth theatre program of The Naples Players! KidzAct educates, enriches, and empowers the youth of Naples to create vibrant entertainment and become leaders in the community by engaging in teamwork, respect, and imagination.

The power of youth theatre goes beyond storytelling. It offers an outlet of creativity which allows young people to transform and express themselves, in a fun and unique setting. Theatre teaches students a variety of skills from confidence and responsibility, to discipline and communication. These skills learned in our classes, workshops, and productions translate into life-long abilities. Whether it is a student’s first time in the theatre or they’re a veteran of the stage, KidzAct offers a friendly, professional theatre experience for everyone.
