Theatre: Bored with kids is one of the worst positions to be in as a parent, mentor, or guardian. Let's explore why the disconnect happens with young kids (and not-so young kids) and see what happens when we accept the boredom. In this program we will use improv principles to re-inspire the playfulness that will drastically reduce boredom.
