Kidz R Us began life in 1993 when Phil Barnett and Margaret Banfield of St Ives Operatic Society assembled a small group of local kids for a one off concert in aid of Save the Children None of this would be possible without a small army of dedicated adult volunteers, providing all the support services for our productions, from costume making to chaperoning, front of house to stage management Over the past 16 years, Kidz has staged over 50 musical shows at our own theatre in St Ives and at the Minack, and even appearing in London's West End
