Renee Mulliniks, founder of Kaleo Arts Renee Mulliniks · Founder

Where Kaleo
began.

Kaleo Kids is where Kaleo Arts began. Since our first production in 2005, we've had hundreds of performances and thousands of young performers under our lights.

Kaleo Kids is led by Renee Mulliniks, who founded the program as a simple experiment: could kids who'd never set foot on a stage pull off an original production? Two decades later, it's Kaleo's flagship.
