What Makes Us Different?
We are an *outdoor* theater/imagination based after school program. We play outside under the trees, on the outdoor stage, near the garden. We only go inside if it's too cold/hot/wet to stay in the yard!
What do we do at Rising Stars?
* Play theater/imaginative games like Pirates, Night at the Museum, and Fox!
* Spend time exploring nature and building friendships.
* Dance Dance Dance to your favorite songs!
* Build self-confidence by getting up on our stage.
* Draw, paint, and create art.
* Go on treasure hunts!
* Be in an original short play!
* Watch puppet shows and learn how to be a good audience!
* Prepare for big shows! (for the kids who are ready, we perform at the Spring Musical and sometimes in the Variety Show too!)
Our staff has years of experience guiding children in expressing their creativity, fostering imaginative play, and also offering a supportive environment to just be kids running around in a beautiful outdoor setting.
