I need help remembering an 80s children's show

S

STF

I'm trying to remember the name of a TV show I used to watch as a child in the 80s (it could have actually been from the 70s though fwiw.) It seems to me that there were adults that wore suits similar to what Robin Williams as Mork wore. If I recall the set was kind of dark and bare, but it had shaped on it that the actors would walk on or do their dances or whatever it was they did. I also seem to recall that they would interact with children on the show, but I could be wrong about that. I've had so much trouble recalling it that I'm even wondering if it was a segment on another show. I initially thought it was part of The Electric Company but it seems I'm having a hard time backing that up.

Any help would be appreciated. This is driving me crazy.
 
The Zoom set looked right, but like you said that was only kids. The only other thing I can think of is if it was part of Nickelodeon because that was what I mostly watched as a youngster.
 
I can't find any pictures to back this up, but I think the show is "Kids' Writes."

Kids Writes*

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. Aired in the early 80s.

MAIN CAST:
Jim Mairs (narrator)
Steve Rifkin (tall, thin guy in a blue suit, w/an afro and a mustache)
Carlo Grossman (short, stocky, tan guy with black hair and an orange suit)
Whynn White (woman in a pink suit, w/brown hair)
John Rousseau (balding man in a purple suit)

THEME SONG:
KIDS WRITES

KIDS WRITES
Her's to you!
What you write is what we do, the words are all by you

Your ideas
coming through
dreams and hopes from envelopes, some are funny, some are blue.
The words are from your hearts and hands so we sing here’s to you.
Letters, stories, words by you, letters stories words by you.
Here's to you!
