RON SOLOMON, our founder, president, and creative director, started in theatre as a kid. When he was six years old, he discovered puppets - marionettes - and would spend hours and hours putting together puppet shows in several wooden theatres his father built for him. Around the age of 8, he began making up plays with the neighbor kids, using someone's backporch as a stage. At the age of 12, he began performing with the Bonfils Children's Theatre in Denver. He played Roo in their first production of Winnie the Pooh - the same version we opened our Pearland theatre with in October 2005!

Mr. Solomon "graduated" to adult musicals, dramas, and comedies as a performer. He then birthed a children's church program called Caraway St. that has been sold in 42 states and 7 foreign countries.

In 1996, Ron added directing to his credits by directing three productions a year for five years at Plymouth Middle School in Minnesota. He also taught drama classes to children with community education in various Minnesota cities. Local community theatres, two of which he started, began requesting his directorial talent with such productions as Cheaper by the Dozen, Meet Me In St. Louis, and Harvey. Mr. Solomon has also been a drama director at three churches and a children's pastor at three; most recently at Crosspoint Fellowship in Pearland. He has also taught drama to children at Sing & Play Fine Arts Studios. Mr. Solomon has worked as an actor with Theatre Under the Stars in such productions as Brigadoon and Anything Goes!. He has also appeared as a guest artist with the A.D. Players, a baritone soloist with the Houston Symphony, and, most recently, at the Alley Theatre. Mr. Solomon enjoys providing young performers what they need to give great performances. He does this with respect, patience, and an ability to stretch a person beyond what they thought they could give! He listens and allows the performer - no matter their age - to contribute their own ideas to the creative process. Every actor is important - whether they have a leading role or are a part of the chorus. Excellence is the aim - not perfection. His goal is to make everyone look good and for the performance to glorify the Creator. He strives to make everyone feel connected to the play or musical, to learn and grow, and to get better at what they have a passion for - and have fun, too! As a result (parents tell us!), kids "come out of their shell", they finally find their "niche", they develop self-confidence, make new friends, and feel proud of their contributions and accomplishments. This is the "heart" of Ron Solomon and what Kids' Backporch Productions is all about!

Join Ron in the adventure of building a theatre where dreams come true and the ultimate Creator can be honored!
