From clowns and magicians, to Emmy-awarding winning musicians and puppeteers, the Summerfest Family Theatre has brought high-quality entertainment to Frederick youngsters for over 17 years!

From a modest beginning highlighting three programs throughout the summer, the series has grown to feature eight, full-length performances by some of the most sought-after children’s performers in the region.  Kids’ sensations Laurie Berkner and Milkshake have both been part of the series, exposing more children than ever to the magic of the performing arts.

Founded in early 2013, the Jungle Gym Jam seeks to create an emotional connection with their audience while occasionally slipping in educational or key messages about the golden rules of life. “Jersey Jason” and “Awesome Amy,” founders of the group, incorporate songs written about their own special family memories with lyrics universally relatable to all families.
