Kids' Writes was a children's program on Nickelodeon, running from Christmas day of 1981[1] to 1983 with repeats until 1987. The main cast included Jim Mairs (who also acted as director/guitarist/vocalist), Wynn White, Carlo Grossman, John Rousseau, and Steve Rifkin.

Premise[edit]

The cast performed on a very unique set consisting of several wooden ramps, steps, metal hoops, nets, and overhangs. The premise was that children would send in stories or songs that the players would perform. They never used props, aside from the set. Before each story or song, they showed a picture with the name and hometown of the author.
