KISS Theatre Company is a nonprofit youth performing arts organization at Joe Amato's East End Centre in Wilkes-Barre, producing shows since 2006 for young people ages 4-17 who train in theatre, music and dance and perform in age-grouped companies called Littles, Middles and Teens. It has staged more than 170 productions and offers summer workshops as well as a free, application-based Technical Internship Program teaching set design, painting, sound and light board operation to students who prefer backstage work.

Powered by GoogleMy son is on his 4th production at KISS and we love it! The staff is awesome and GREAT with kids and we LOVE going to the performances! 10/10 highly recommend!!
If you're going to make last minute decisions to abuse children please let the parents know in advance (before children are on stage) so we can call out with excuses like a minor cold. Your staff (which I must note weren't "protected") are not more important than the children. Yes I use "protected" since if you actually do some reading of primary sources you'll find out it's a farce. Also the "protection" was just some left over nappy from who knows where that I've never seen before.
The show are always so entertaining, but even more amazing is the work they do with the kids. They teach so much that is used on stage and in real life. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to get their kids involved in theater.
Although the theatre itself appeared fine, I have great issue with their refund policies. My daughter had to drop out after two weeks due to personal reasons; however the theatre company kept our full $250 payment. Not even a partial refund or credit for future performances. I understand that is their policy, but a tiered approach (e.g. lose $50 after two weeks, $100 after three, etc.) would be better as people have issues in their life that cannot be helped. I can honestly say that keeping my full $250 with nothing to show in return has put me off from ever trying this group again. Sorry, but you really need to rethink your financial practices.
Interesting space for a good cause. Lots of legroom in the theatre room makes it easy to maneuver, but may limit available seating. It also did not appear to be staggered to prevent people from sitting directly behind others' heads. Minor gripes for the good work.
