About Our Collaborator:

Mister K’s Clubhouse is Omaha’s only live-action, educational preschool series aimed at children ages 1-7 years, created, produced by, and starring Kerron Stark. In this special live version presented on the Benson Theatre stage, Mister K invites us to his Clubhouse, a fun, welcoming place–much like a daycare classroom–where children play, sing, and learn. After an interactive sing-along, three of Mister K’s young friends–Tyler, Jessica, and Skyler–arrive and tell us about the exciting game of pretending they’ve just come from. Mister K decides he would like to play pretend, too, so he brings out a giant chest full of things that will spark ideas for imaginary adventures. Through the power of imagination, we are transported to a farm, a mechanic’s garage, and a rock concert!

Mister K conveys educational messages through songs and dance with a positive and loving attitude. Reminiscent of popular educational programs of the past, Mister K’s Clubhouse brings a fresh and modern twist to the traditional styles of teaching through video media, for a new generation of children. The show is designed to assist parents and caregivers in providing children with opportunities to learn and gain the range of skills that are needed to grow; it influences children to follow their dreams, to use their imaginations, and teaches that we are all special through reinforcements of love.
