Ants in the Pants Productions is a children's education non-profit based in Las Vegas. I began working for the company in the spring of 2021. My roles are varied as I write copy for their grants, adapt children's stories into professional screenplays and stage plays, and edit and produce many of their videos.
Here is their mission statement:
"Much like most things in life, it all started with a small idea — the idea of getting students excited about writing and creating by bringing their stories to life. With this idea in mind, our founder, Rebecca Kernes, assembled a small group of artists and teachers that had a passion for cultivating imagination in children. In 2017, Ants in the Pants Productions was born as a fiscally sponsored 501c3 nonprofit organization focusing on children’s theatre through writing.
We work with students through games and creative writing exercises to put their original stories on paper. Then, our Ants Team adapts them into live pieces of theater. Professional performers showcase these pieces on stage, allowing students to truly see their work come to life in a profound way. We are driven to do our part in making the world a better place for children through creative writing and theater.
Our decision-making process is informed by comprehensive empirical studies and high-quality data evaluation, ensuring that everything we do is for the benefit of your children. We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact with all of our pursuits."
