WHAT MAKES US SPARKLE
BEHIND THE MAGIC.
We're the Wickstroms.
Meet our family! As a husband and wife team, Justice & Brenna Wickstrom began the local and successful Storyteller Theatre OKC in 2023. However, it was difficult to blend our professional company with the needs we desired out of an education studio for kids. We get the long rehearsal nights and the early mornings. We get the juggling act of schedules, meals, and carpool lines. We get that theatre can be both magical and demanding, both inspiring and expensive. That’s why we’ve built a company that puts family first—from our ticket prices to our rehearsal structure to the way we welcome kids into the world of theatre. We believe the arts should bring families together, not stretch them thin. At the end of the day, we’re not just creating shows—we’re creating space for families to connect, to dream, and to share something beautiful. Because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that families thrive when they’re seen, supported, and inspired.
We know what it’s like to live the theatre life—late nights, long rehearsals, quick dinners, and the constant juggle. That’s why we’ve built our program to make life a little easier and a lot more connected:
🍽️ Full Kitchen & Weekly Meal Plan
Skip the drive-thru! We offer a full kitchen and a weekly meal plan, so you can enjoy real food and real connection instead of another rushed McDonald’s run.
💬 Parent Circles & Small Groups
Being a parent, in-and-of itself can be isolating. Our small groups create space for parents to share, support, and connect—with people who understand the joys and chaos of raising young performers.
🙌 Volunteer on Your Terms
We love when families get involved—but we also know life is busy. Volunteer as much or as little as you’d like, with zero guilt either way.
💡 Simple Fundraising, Big Impact
We provide easy, creative fundraising options that let your child take ownership and participate in the magic of making theatre happen—without overwhelming you.
Because at the end of the day, we’re not just making theatre—we’re building a community.
