Families are invited to join this unforgettable celebration, where theatre comes alive with powerful messages that resonate deeply with young audiences.
With its core message rooted in biblical principles, "Be Strong, Bold, and Fearless," KidsQuest encourages children to rise above their circumstances, make wise choices, and possess the courage to stand up for what’s right.
