Kidoons is a multimedia storytelling company. We create live theatrical productions, entertaining animated videos, and exciting community engagement.
ONLINE
We produce digital shorts in collaboration with partners in realms such as medicine, science, history, government, social services, environment, and more. Our ability to bring complex stories to life for all ages, using our characters, animation, and humour, has garnered tens of millions of views and has our videos installed in museums as programming, in six provinces.

"The Kidoons team exemplifies creativity... we highly recommend them to others seeking fun and engaging ways to share their stories with youth." – Lissa Foster, Executive Director, The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame
"From concept to filming to completion, their creative and professional approach led to a final production that we could have never imagined... We can't be more thrilled!" – Jill Osborne, Director of Development & Communications, London Children's Museum
ONSTAGE
Our theatrical productions have toured across North America, including Off-Broadway 3 times, as well as to France and Taiwan. Our family productions have travelled from coast to coast to coast to coast: from New York to California, and from Texas to the Northwest Territories. Renowned for our "high tech / low tech" artistry, our shows combine stunning, immersive multimedia with classic theatrical techniques (masks, puppets, shadow). See our list of theatre productions here.
“MAGICAL! The use of projections is sometimes jaw dropping!” – The New York Times
"I loved the mix of visual/ technological elements with the live work of the actors” – Intermission Magazine
IN COMMUNITY
The Kidoons team is experienced with creating events to accompany our works, from activities for younger audiences, to master classes for students, to talks for theatres and corporate events. Our team has spoken in panels and given presentations at events and on TV across Canada and the US. For community content related to our partnered digital works, our partners not only benefit from the narrative-based content we create with them, but also from having that content featured in our ever-expanding universe of stories.
"It's just incredible for them to have the opportunity to see live theatre… and to get to spend an hour with the company afterwards… to explore their amazing technical achievements.” – Brad Dell, Iowa State University
We are big-picture creative collaborators looking to educate, enlighten, and empower through entertainment.
