Our Once Upon a Stage Kids' Theatre Workshop series is back for the 2025 Winter Break season to celebrate winter with a flare! Our theme, “A Winter Wonderland,” opens the door to a world of imagination as children explore snowy landscapes, meet enchanting winter creatures, and dive into magical fables while storytelling, acting, and creative play. Focusing on a brand new set of activities and stories, they’ll create their own characters, learn fundamental theatre skills, and bring winter scenes to life on stage; as, they foster confidence, creative skills, and friendships in a supportive and engaging environment.
The KHCC is thrilled to partner with King Theatre Company once again to bring back this one-day children's workshop. The day will end with a special performance where participants will showcase their skits for family and friends at pick-up time.

Join us on our tour "Community is King!" this summer to explore the historic buildings, people, and stories that shaped King Township - and continue to make its community key, or rather, King! This interactive tour will invite you to handle artifacts and investigate technologies from our museum collection, step in the shoes of a Kinghorn S.S. #23 student, and dive into historic fashion and dance culture - and if daring, learn a few dance moves!
