For Our Lil Skunks

We are very proud of the programming we provide for children — from great children’s plays and concerts to circus fun to all-ages yoga.  Thanks to our friends at Acting Up and The Secret Cirkus for hosting our Kiddieland adventures.

Get ready for a theater experience like no other! Straight from the creative heart of Mountain Page Theater and the Young Actors Krew (YAK) in Saluda, NC, ACTING UP is a high-energy, all-ages crew that’s flipping the script on what community theater can be.

From fierce little stars like Nora (6) and Leah (7), to rising talents Jacob (8), Grace (15), and Adam (12) — and our swamp-slaying duo, Badge and Jace (10) as Shrek and Donkey — this cast is stacked with talent. And they’re joined by an incredible team of adult performers who bring the laughs, the drama, and the heart.

At SpringSkunk ‘25, they’re bringing you:

  • Shrek Jr. Jam. – hilarious, heartwarming, and full of fairy tale flair and music.
  • Wicked – Part 1: A Mini-Musical Experience – featuring Elphaba, Glinda, and those iconic flying monkeys. Walk with us in the parade and come to the show right after!
  • The Stinky Blinder Showdown – a totally original clash where heroes and villains like Ariel and Ursula face off in their over-the-top songs. The audience picks the winners with cheers, so bring the noise!
  • A 60s/70s Dance Party – funky costumes, groovy moves, and pure retro joy.

All around the SkunkFarm there are lots of fun things for the kids, including tree swings, The Jolley Skunk Wilderness Kingdom Playground, the SkunkArt Bus and nature trails! We also have The Skunk View Drive-In Movie in the evenings.  Bring your kid’s wagon or kiddie car for them to watch outdoor movies in KiddieLand.

Parents – make sure to keep an eye on the kids — a small fish pond is located on the property. (There may be some large fish in there too!)  We’ve experienced some property damage from unsupervised kids in the past, so please keep up with them. Also, while we have children’s activities that provide great entertainment for them, please note that we are not babysitters.
