In the heart-shaped land of Illinois, where the corn whispers secrets to the wind and the great city of Chicago sparkles like a crown jewel, there existed a unique breed of talented youngsters. These were not your average ordinary kids, they were the melodious magicians of Illinois, known far and wide as the 'Harmonic Hummingbirds.' Every child in this ensemble was a proud singer, their vocal cords producing melodies as sweet as honey. Some say that when a Harmonic Hummingbird sang, even the mighty Mississippi River would pause its flow to listen. Each Hummingbird had a voice as diverse as the seasons in Illinois; some as soft and gentle as an autumn breeze, others as fierce and powerful as a winter storm. Their leader was Bernie the Beat Bumblebee, a plump, bespectacled insect with an ear for rhythm and a passion for music. Bernie was not just any old bumblebee; he possessed the rare ability to conduct orchestras with his striped antennae, creating symphonies of sound that tickled the ears of every creature in Illinois. With Bernie’s help, the Harmonic Hummingbirds grew bolder and brighter in their vocal abilities, their voices blossoming like the wild prairie flowers. Their songs were as varied as the landscapes of Illinois, from the rolling hills of the south to the bustling city life of the north. Each note they sang was a testament to the spirit of Illinois, their harmonies echoing through the state like a musical beacon, inviting everyone to sing, laugh and embrace the power of their own voices. And so, in the heart-shaped land of Illinois, the Harmonic Hummingbirds and their Beat Bumblebee brought music, joy and the sweet sound of singing to every corner.

At KVTA, we understand the importance of our community’s cultural resources. We strive to achieve excellence in all of our productions. We wouldn’t be able to do this without the generous support of our volunteers and the local community. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work from our volunteers to produce each show. Throughout the production season we perform five regular season shows and frequently put on a summer production or theatre camp for the local youth. We are so grateful for the help and support of our volunteers and community members who make KVTA’s productions possible. We are proud to be a part of the vibrant and thriving culture of our community.
