​Kaleidoscope Youth Theatre, a project of The Summit Playhouse, is an educational and community service providing quality drama for and by youth since 1993. Having staged over 40 youth productions, Kaleidoscope offers young people experience in all aspects of the theatre -- acting, directing, costuming, set design, stage management, lighting and sound -- with Playhouse regulars acting as mentors to our young artists. Kaleidoscope is committed to serving the community,  embracing volunteerism, and working together as a team on our productions.
