OUR KID'S THEATRE AND MUSIC PROGRAM IS ALIVE AND THRIVING IN ANCHORAGE!!
Kids, we would love it if you would share your energy, imagination and fun-loving spirit with us!
THE JUNGLE BOOK
OUR NEIGHBORS Children’s Theatre’s production of THE JUNGLE BOOK was presented live on October 16
ON ZOOM, bringing the animals of the jungle right into the homes of approximately 150 people.
Answering the question of whether real live theatre can be experienced over Zoom, the answer was a resounding “Yes!” These 20 talented kids brought Rudyard Kipling’s classic characters alive during an hour of fun, sharing the message that despite our differences, it is in being together that we are strong.

Princess and the Magic Pea
THE PRINCESS AND THE MAGIC PEA was a live musical puppet show presented in February 2020, before the pandemic.
These 12 puppets were created and hand-sewn by OUR NEIGHBORS director, Sister Annette Janka, and their medieval costumes were perfect for this fairy tale story. The specially built, multiple-level puppet stage allowed for string puppets as well as hand puppets and human people to interact together. It was a lot of fun!
See photo gallery below.

Who we are
The director of the OUR NEIGHBORS program, Sister Annette Janka, is excited about living in Anchorage and brings her love of kids, puppets, musical instruments, theatrical experience and musical expertise here with her. She looks forward to meeting many new talented young artists to collaborate with, and discovering the unique gifts that each young person brings.
The vision of OUR NEIGHBORS is to provide a healthy and safe environment where young people can discover and develop new skills and find the joy of working closely together to reach a common goal.
Although the content of the OUR NEIGHBORS program is not religious, Sister Annette is deeply grateful for the support of Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church, grants from donors, the Deaconess Community of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the ELCA Alaska Synod and the national ELCA. The OUR NEIGHBORS program's motivating purpose is to be a service to the community, offering kindness and compassion to the children of Anchorage. If families or kids are interested in exploring spiritual understandings, the folks at Christ Our Savior gladly welcome you to Sunday worship and activities during the week.
