INQUIRE

LIVE THEATRE AFTER-ScHOOL

At the start of our program, many students struggle with reading or social interaction. Yet, within just one semester, they blossom into confident performers, improving their reading skills through practice and memorization. Unlike traditional theater experiences where students are spectators, our immersive program turns them into the stars. They take the stage in front of a crowd of nearly 2,000 people, complete with costumes, sets, props, and all the glitz of a red carpet event, creating memories that last a lifetime.

We offer engaging theater programs tailored for 3rd to 6th graders, featuring Broadway Junior & Disney plays. Dual-language options are available for students in dual-immersion schools. Our curriculum includes acting, voice, and dance lessons twice a week, spanning 15 to 20 weeks, followed by a week of full-stage theater rehearsals.

Led by industry professionals—actors, choreographers, singers—our classes provide scripts, music, and choreography videos to reinforce learning. The culmination is a 20-minute “Live Theater Showcase” where students perform on a real stage with props, lighting, costumes, and more. We document this experience with photos and videos for families and schools to cherish.

We seamlessly integrate into existing after-school schedules, ensuring instructors assist with snacks, homework, and adhere to school behavior expectations using the “CHAMPS” model. Safety is paramount; our instructors undergo background checks and Mandated Reporter training. We believe in fostering creativity in a safe, supportive environment, with instructors who are not only skilled but also passionate about inspiring children.
