ABOUT
Janet’s Planet: A Tour Through the Solar System travels at the “speed of thought,” introducing the wonders of the galaxy to families and young audiences throughout the country. The interactive presentation engages and challenges students and is designed to inspire STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) potential in elementary school-age kids. Lesson plans are designed to integrate with Next Generation Science Standards, based on a curriculum endorsed by NASA and Space Florida. Janet’s Planet meets Common Core Standards.
The Folly Kids’ Series is a collection of national and international traveling presenters who produce quality, curriculum-based performances. Age-appropriate performances engage students in topics including children’s literacy, STEM, and social-emotional wellness. Students, parents and school groups alike will enjoy programs which inspire and entertain, all from the stage of Kansas City’s most historic arts venue!
After two long years since we had schools fill the Folly Theater, we are excited to announce our 2022-2023 Folly Kids Series and welcome students and teachers once again for LIVE, in-person performances!
With themes such as language arts, social sciences, music, and science we’re certain you should be able to find a show or two to fit a variety of curriculum standards. As with previous seasons, our series capacity is on a first-come-first-serve basis and historically, many have sold out!
