THE LION KING KIDS!

Why This Show Matters

There’s nothing like the electric moment when the house lights dim and a young performer steps into the spotlight. At OWPTC, our EDU Stage exists to build confidence, celebrate uniqueness, and teach excellence through collaboration. Every ticket you buy directly fuels that mission—funding rehearsal space, costumes, sets, and the mentorship that turns nerves into courage and first lines into ovations.

A Director’s Note from Adam Silorey

When we started OWPTC, I thought we were building shows. I quickly learned we’re really building people.

This production is a love letter to our students’ bravery. You’ll see kids who, a few weeks ago, were shyly reading lines now owning the stage with bright voices, clear choices, and big hearts. You’ll hear harmonies they practiced on repeat and watch storytelling they crafted together—listening, responding, and taking care of one another. That’s the whole point.

Our rehearsal room is intentionally a place where effort counts as much as talent. We stretch, we try again, we cheer each other on. We talk about what it means to be an ensemble—how every scene partner helps tell the story, how leadership looks like kindness, and how excellence is really just courage plus repetition.

Parents, thank you for trusting us with your kids. Students, thank you for your grit, your laughter, and your fearless imagination. Community, thank you for showing up—your presence tells these young artists their voices matter.

See you in the theatre. — Adam Silorey, Director & Artistic Director, OWPTC
