Jane Anne Sullivan + Noel Donovan:

The Mother/Daughter Co-Directors of Kid Stock, remembered growing up with time and space to play, to imagine and to relish in the leisure of childhood. They were each born into ready-made performance troops with six and seven siblings respectively. They had childhoods far separated from the technologically inundated lives of kids these days. As they grew further into their quickly expanding family they realized that this concept of “leisure” was missing more and more for the children of their community. It became the goal of Kid Stock, then known as “The Sunshine Band”, to give children room and permission to explore their imaginations and to experience the creative outlet of performing for their friends and family. There was an idea that things should not always be so complicated, and that some old classic show tunes and dance moves might still have some value to the ever evolving community.
