Kaukauna Utilities Brings Live Theater to Local Students

‘Project Energy’ guides audience through energy conservation

Professional actors from The National Theatre for Children portray characters teaching students about energy conservation.Kaukauna Utilities (KU) is teaming up once again with The National Theatre for Children (NTC) to help local school staff teach and motivate the next generation of community leaders. In 2025, NTC will visit five area schools, including over 1,000 students and teachers.

“It is such a positive opportunity to be able to provide this program through our partnership with NTC and the local school districts,” said Frank Barth, KU Energy Services Manager “We seize every chance to encourage our area students to learn more about energy and how power works within our own community.”

While watching “Project Energy” unfold, students will learn about energy efficiency with the help of a mystery solving pair named Sure Luck Ohms and detective-in-training Wattson.

The professional actors playing these characters and others will guide students along an adventure while teaching them about energy conservation, electricity generation, energy waste, and renewable resources.

Additional digital content expands on the concepts taught during the 25 minute in-school performance. For more information about “Project Energy,” visit nationaltheatre.com.
