Original Kids Theatre - London, Ontario

My two daughters have attended Original Kids for many years and have had wonderful experiences every time, which made us return year after year. I cannot recommend OK Kids enough for a positive, inclusive environment for kids. Their staff model not only inclusiveness, but positivity, creativity and dedication. Highly recommend!

Beware! I registered my daughters in a Kidlets program. We made it to the performance and my daughter stood on stage and did not participate the entire performance. Stage fright I thought. I remember during rehearsal peaking into the window one time and seeing her doing the same thing while everyone was dancing but I thought it was a one off? She was in so much discomfort during the performance I felt so bad for her. I couldn’t believe the instructors all these weeks saw her discomfort and lack of participation and did not notify me. It resulted in an overwhelming feeling of discomfort watching her on performance day. To make matters worse, since I was unaware that she was not doing anything after being dropped off, I registered my girls for the following Spring session. When I saw how they neglected my daughter I obviously asked for a refund. They would only refund 90% according to the contract terms. I thought for sure based on the unfortunate circumstances they would at least refund me the full amount and even be slightly apologetic for the situation, though they were not. Think twice before signing up for Kidlets.

Our daughters were enrolled in kidlets, they made it to performance day and our youngest daughter stood on stage and did not move the entire performance- our eldest daughter later told us that it what she would do during rehearsal. I am so upset that the instructors did not communicate this to us once, we were shocked and disappointed to see her in tears on stage. They did not even give her the option to come off, her well being is of upmost importance to us and I do not feel like it was of any importance to the instructors. Very unhappy with the program.

Great staff! Very organized. Great place to enroll your kids in summer camps. The camp counselors were all so helpful and very energetic. They all did a wonderful job but shoutout to Eli for being an awesome counselor!

Our grand daughter just finished her 8 week session with Original Kidlets. The staff are awesome. I want to personally call out a huge thank you to staff member Taylor. I am hearing impaired which required accommodations for the show. I contacted Taylor and she took control, made special seating arrangements, provided a script and light in order for me to follow along. What a wonderful young lady! Great job Taylor and all other support staff. It was a wonderful show last night (March 2, 2020).

I have seen many shows at OK over the years... Am consistently impressed at the incredible focus, talent and originality these young people bring to the stage. Always under the guidance of some pretty incredible mentorship!!
"Bright Star" was no exception!!!

Small theater, incredible shows. We recently saw spongebob the musical and the whole cast and crew was absolutely incredible!!!

Fresh and tasty treats for intermission were much appreciated.

I used to watch their shows and think this was something for me, I then joined the company and thought it was awesome for T.A.G and thought that this was something I wanted to do forever, my first show however was anything but, I liked some of my cast but didn't necessarily feel at home yet, my second show was a blast though, I had the best director ever and the best cast ever, I wanted to go for another season, which was a bit of a let down, I was in a show with an alright director and a good cast but the show was too boring and wasn't for our age group. I just got my package for my fourth show and I'm straight up disappointed, I don't want to do musicals but that shouldn't affect my experience, the plays have gotten very underwhelming and just aren't worth the money we're paying for. It makes sense that they want to put more money into the musicals because they are more popular but it shouldn't affect my experience for plays. All in all it's getting disappointing and I think I'll be quitting next season.
