Afterschool & Saturday Programs

Our Afterschool and Saturday Programs give kids the opportunity to learn and grow in a dynamic, hands-on environment. With us, they won’t just sit and listen—they’ll dive right in, exploring all aspects of theater while developing practical skills that go far beyond the stage.

Through theater, kids will:

  • Boost literacy skills by creating characters, writing scripts, and developing plots.
  • Learn conflict resolution through playwriting and reflection.
  • Design theater sets, learning to use tools safely to build and bring sets to life.
  • Manage production budgets, giving them real-world financial skills.
  • Operate sound and lighting as engineers, developing technical skills.
  • Design costumes by learning to mix fabrics and colors, as well as refining sewing skills to bring creative visions to life.
  • Master makeup artistry, transforming faces and bodies for the stage through the art of makeup.

By the end of the program, students will have worked together to create an entire stage production, from writing the script to designing sets, managing the technical aspects, and performing for the audience. It's a full-circle experience that allows them to see the results of their hard work and creativity while developing valuable life skills.
