Since a large turnout is expected the following is suggested:

Please do not "camp out" at tables. There are many acts and family members and friends will want to see that act. We ask that when the act you came to see if over please give your table to somone else who is waiting to see the next performance. You, of course, are welcome to remain but we want everyone to have a great view of the performance they came to see.

Out of respect for the performers and the audience, please turn off your cell phone ringer and take calls outside of the performance area.

 Also, have your kids please bring lots of loose change for donations. There is no cover but there is a free will donation. As mentioned before: a little money goes a long way and all funds raised go directly to the orphans.

Have lots of fun!

John Shull is the wonderful Artistic Director who started the Accompany of Kids (affectionately know as AOK) 21-years-ago.  His own four children have been in the group as well as hundreds of other children. 

Currently, AOK has about 100 kids (from several communities) in rehearsals right now for their Holiday Show which you can see at Menomonee Falls North Junior High on the weekend of December 13th and 14th.  Times are 1:00, 4:00 and 7:00 PM on Saturday and 2:00 PM on Sunday.  AOK have been given the Honor of being named the Musical Ambassadors of Menomonee Falls.   

The Accompany of Kids is a nonprofit agency that depends on the generosity of many supporters.  They are looking for Corporate Sponsors so if you know of any companies that support the arts, please have them contact this organization.  The Accompany of Kids would like to thank the Menomonee Falls Rotary Club for their recent generous donation.  AOK will also be having a fundraiser at Barnes & Noble at Brookfield Square on Friday, December 5th.  AOK will get a percentage of sales for that day as well as performing at the store throughout the evening hours.  So, do your holiday shopping and help donate to the Accompany of Kids!  AOK offers programs such as Crescendo, Celebrate and AOK for anyone ages 5 through 20, so if you know of any kids who would enjoy being a part of this group or if you are looking to book some entertainment give AOK a call!
