Focusfish is thrilled to announce its first after-school theatre program for 2nd-5th graders that goes beyond the Spring Musical… a 2x a week after-school experience with the professional theatre folks from FOCUSfish, starting in January and running through June!

Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:40 pm-5 pm, THEATRE KIDS programming will include instruction in the areas of audition prep, character acting, monologue work, music lessons for singers, staying fit for theatre, musical theatre dance, and more! Of course, the “more” is important for those THEATRE KIDS who do NOT wish to sing or be in the spotlight. But, they can still learn how to deliver a monologue to be a better public speaker in school and beyond.  They will also be creating props and sets for the Spring musical.  And there will be a KID CREW assembled to support the Spring musical.  So, there’s a lot to be explored in our new after-school theatre skills program.  

The THEATRE KIDS after-school program will prep your child for the Spring musical. Session 1 will run Mondays and Wednesdays 2:40-5 pm from January 11 to March 4. The program will be customized for this age group and the attendees, leading each young theatre kid to their audition for the musical, which this year is ❄️FROZEN ❄️ Auditions will happen in March for children ages 2nd grade-5th grade. (Please note your child does not have to ​enroll in Session I to participate in the play, and they may also participate in the play without enrolling in Session ​I.)

We will start Session 2, the musical, March 7 and end May 8th with show dates on May 7 and May 8. Rehearsals will be AT TOPANGA ELEMENTARY on the upper yard, outdoors or inside, with doors open for ventilation. Dress rehearsals will be at a nearby outdoor performance space, location TBD.

Session 3 will run from May 9 - June 10 - details TBD.

Pricing for the after-school program is $70 weekly to be paid monthly at $280. If you need a payment plan, we can set one up for you (For example, one charge for $140 at the beginning of the month and one charge for $140 at the end of the month).  There is limited space available for this new, exciting program.  Registration begins now through December 31st.  Or when all spaces are purchased.  

All participants will walk to the upper immediately after school for snack time. (Please pack extra snacks and water for after school.  FOCUSfish will offer light, healthy snacks in addition to what you pack.).  Classes will run for two hours, mixing lessons with a common theme.  Pick-up will happen on the upper playground.  Those needing to stay until 6 pm will be released to Beyond the Bell care. Note: Your children MUST also be enrolled in Beyond the Bell to participate in the FOCUSfish: Theatre Kids program!

Please note, you do not have to enroll in all sessions!! Your child/ren may enroll in ANY or ALL sessions. See you soon!!
