A Theater For Children Education, Kids/Family, Nonprofit, Performing Arts, Recovery Fund Grantee, Theatre, Youth Arts Education Local theater artists building character and community through theater events for children. For all the details, visit our website https://www.atheaterforchildren.com Our Vision A Theater For Children was founded in 2016 to serve the residents of Sonoma County. We offer low-cost performances for young audiences and offer free opportunities for children to perform. We recognize that the theater arts provide children with life-changing opportunities to develop character and confidence, promote cooperation among multiple generations and build a diverse and vibrant community of individuals who value creativity and learning. Our Programs Participation in the magic of theater, whether behind the scenes or in front of an audience, sparks imagination and ingenuity and helps to build community and character. A Theater For Children provides quality affordable live entertainment to the community in our mainstage shows. Each year we produce three main stage productions. Our shows include well-loved interpretations of classic children’s literature, as well as contemporary stories and new works. Some of our shows: McQuadle: A Dragon's Tale Cinderella, Cinderella, a participation play for children Dorothy & The Wizard of Oz, another child participation play. Disney's 101 Dalmatians KIDS Alex & The Magic Staff, by local artists Bridget Palmer and Peter B. Allen. For the 2019-2020 Season, we received a Cultural Arts Grant from Creative Sonoma to support our theme of "Children Embracing Nature Through Theater Arts." This grant supported our efforts to produce Disney's Lion King KIDS in November 2019. The production included the theme of the balance of nature and incorporated audience participation with an African animal headband arts project for children and the inclusion of audience voices and movement. Our March 2020 production, the California premiere of "Save Our Planet", also contained a nature preservation theme, and children were invited to participate by rapping along with the performers. Our two school site-specific versions of Disney's Lion King KIDS, at Bellevue and Kid Street Charter schools, including 60-100 children in each production. For a time, both projects had to be canceled because of the pandemic, but fortunately the Kid Street Lion King KIDS did take place in 2023. We dedicated our 2020-2021 Season to the theme of "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child." Although the Pandemic shutdown curtailed many of our plans, we were able to offer a Youth Playwriting Competition, a Playwriting Workshop, and a Zoom production of Alex & The Magic Staff in 2020. On April 24th, 2021, we collaborated with the Children's Museum of Sonoma County to create a fun day-long educational and entertaining event honoring Earth Day! Most recently, we reprised McQuadle: A Dragon's Tale, Disney's Lion King KIDS, Disney's Moana JR, and Disney's Beauty & the Beast JR. In Spring 2024, we're producing Witchs v. Princesses and Disney's A Little Mermaid JR. Who We Are Our organization is run by Executive Director, Bridget Palmer, President, Jim Plaisted, and Treasurer, Beverly Esperon. Our events are created and produced by volunteers from the Sonoma County community. ATFC is a Fiscally Sponsored Project of Inquiring Systems INC.

Adelle Stoll Business, Decorative Arts, Fine Crafts, Product/Industrial Design, Retail Handcrafted for the Modern Minimalist Adelle Stoll combines her love of modern design with nimble hands to create original handbags and jewelry. Classic and bold architectural shapes are crafted from soft materials resulting in iconic pieces destined to become heirlooms. Each piece is designed and crafted with love by modern accessories designer Adelle Stoll in Sonoma County, California. Materials All Adelle Stoll goods are made using supreme materials specifically chosen for their quality and durability. Using the finest oil tanned leathers sourced from the United States, leather is hand cut to create stylish pieces, designed for years of use. 100% German wool felt in vibrant, saturated colors and hand fabricated brass rods and hardware define Adelle Stoll’s original designs. Meet Adelle Stoll Ever since Adelle can remember she’s had an active mind filled with creative ideas. Bored by high school academics, she found her niche in theater arts courses and at 16 performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Discovering that traditional academics weren’t for her, Adelle charted her own course with entrepreneurial thinking built around creativity. A child of the 70s who watched American manufacturing disappear, Adelle wanted to give people a place to shop for quality products that weren’t made in China. The answer? She opened The Silo, a Sonoma County shop carrying modern artisan goods, all made in America. At the helm of The Silo, Adelle saw an opportunity to fill a void. Many trendy handbags were overly adorned and cheaply made. With poor quality materials made by machines only, these mass produced bags didn’t jive with Adelle or her clientele. By virtue of meeting her customers at the shop, Adelle received immediate feedback and refined the designs that are now her trademark style. After a successful stint, Adelle closed The Silo to focus on expanding her product lines. If Adelle hadn’t discovered her inner theater geek years ago, she might have dropped out of high school. Reaching troubled teens is a cause close to her heart that has morphed into a business strategy. Adelle dreams of hiring foster children who’ve aged out of the system. She wants to give them an opportunity to learn a trade and access their creativity. Teens could be taught pattern making, design thinking, or marketing, while learning about personal integrity through responsibility. Her ultimate goal? For each teenager to look beyond personal circumstances and believe in their potential. So many ideas, it’s surprising she sleeps. Adelle creates new original designs and wearable art every season. Producing small batches of handcrafted bags and jewelry are just the beginning. Currently in the design pipeline are modern women’s shoes, men’s accessories, and minimalist home decor items; all designed and handcrafted by Adelle Stoll in Sonoma County, California.
