WHAT IS "IT'S JUST KIDS"?
"It's Just Kids" is a direct outgrowth of
"Theater Workshop's Fantasy Playhouse", Long Island's
longest running family theater and theater school. Barbara and Phil
Schaap are the founding parents of this theatrical institution,
now being run by son Adam and his wife Courtney.
WHY WAS "IT'S JUST KIDS" CREATED?
"It's Just Kids" was created by Barbara and
Phil in order to produce CDs and music videos of Barbara's original
music, heard initially on the New York stage of The Fantasy Playhouse.
For years, audience members have asked for tapes or CDs of the
music they heard in a show they had seen at "Fantasy".
Their kids would sing what they remembered and often came back to
see a show several times in order to learn the music and words.
"THE IJK CLUB" WHO'S IN IT?
In August of 2001, Barbara formed the "IJK Club"
(It's Just Kids) and invited selected youngsters who study at the
Fantasy Playhouse School of Performing Arts and who also appear
in the musicals on the Playhouse stage, to become the charter members.
These kids, age 6 to 17, are the lovely young voices heard on "It's
Just Kids" two new CDs called "SING ME A STORY - TELL
ME A SONG" Vol. 1 and 2. Each CD contains 15 of Barbara's originals
in the following categories: "Story Music", "Bright
Ideas", "Good Advice" and "Life's Little Wrinkles".
