The Story Troupe
The KIDS-N-CO. Story Troupe is
one of the outreach components of the El Paso Playhouse KIDS-N-CO. This
group of talented young actors tells stories to encourage literacy,
plant the seeds of imagination, and introduce children to the wonder of
books. A cross section of literature is used which includes ?Äì but is
not limited to ?Äì cultural awareness, humor and drama.
The KIDS-N-CO Story Troupe has read stories at Barnes & Noble, the
Bookery, the Mickelson Library at Fort Bliss, during El Dia de los
Ni?±os at Washington Park, and they were featured in a segment of
the EPISD cable television show ?ÄúCome Read With Me,?Äù where they read
their stories for an audience citywide. Members from the Story Troupe
also performed in ?ÄúSong of the Unicorn?Äù with the El Paso Music Forum
(Early Music Consort), at the Chamizal National Memorial.
(Clockwise from the top the troupe are: Adrian Ortega,
Stephanie Zubia, Jimmi Lupercio, Alexis Welch, and Cassie Vanwijk.

troupe currently performs at The Bookery on Socorro Road at 2:00pm on
the third Saturday of every month and at Barnes&Noble at Sunland
Park at 11:00am on the last Saturday of every month. They are also
scheduled to perform at the library at Fort Bliss and for the Socorro
ISD Literary Anthology Awards Luncheon.
