The mission of Stimulus Children’s Theatre Company (Stim) is to produce shows that teach valuable lessons which resonate with audiences of all ages. Students at the University of Pennsylvania share stories that communicate themes we feel are important to pass on to young audiences, such as friendship, acceptance and compassion.
In addition to performing on-campus shows for our peers (typically a musical in the Fall and a play in the Spring), Stim is unique among Penn student theatre in our community service endeavours. From off-campus community shows to theatre-based workshops, we love to inspire, benefit and teach Philadelphia youth. Our community-based programming draws upon our experiences within theatre and music to provide arts-based enrichment for children in Philadelphia.
