Spring 5th-8th Grade Musical: The Addams Family Jr
Â
Winter/Spring 2025 Education Programs
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Open your umbrellas, it’s raining pancakes and syrup in the town of Chewandswallow. The sky serves up three square meals a day, until things go wrong and the food pouring down starts to destroy the town! Learning to listen, collaborate, and make creative decisions through story, song, and dance, students will culminate this 5 week program in a performance for friends and family.
Who: Students in Kindergarten or 1st Grade
When: Thursdays 3:45-5pm, April 3rd – May 1st (5 weeks)
Where: Theatre Aspen Studio at the Red Brick Center for the Arts
AES Students may take the F (Fox) bus from the elementary school directly to the Red Brick Center and be picked up directly from the bus by the Theatre Aspen instructor. ACDS students can also take their bus directly to Red Brick. Because other bus locations have separate drop off spots we request that students at ACS, BES, or other schools are either dropped at Red Brick or a parent/appointed grown up is present to assist them in walking from the bus to our classroom.
K – 4th Grade
Not sure what to do with your student every Wednesday when the bell rings for Early Release? Join Theatre Aspen EVERY Early Release Wednesday for our Early Release Adventures! Our programs are flexible to meet your family’s needs – each session is one month long, and families can commit for the full month for a discount, or drop in on any given week when you need a killer adventure to fill your afternoon. Early Release Adventures will take place at Aspen Elementary School for your family’s convenience. Students will meet our teachers directly after school, and set their imaginations wild until 3:15 at their regular release time.Â
What type of adventures will we go on you ask? After a snack provided by Theatre Aspen and a brief afternoon recess, Adventurers will embark on a trip through stories and characters invented right on the spot in our creative improv games, activating bodies, voices, and imaginations to learn how to be storytellers and innovators. Each session will have a different Adventure Theme, so your young actors can play with us all year long and have a fresh experience each month.Â
At the end of each month’s session, families will be welcome to join us for the last 15 minutes of class to see a demonstration of the improvisation games we’ve been learning that month, which will feature all adventurers whether they’ve been with us the whole month or are dropping in that day.Â

Are you an actor ready for focused vocal training? Using the Studio model from collegiate musical theatre programs, students will receive individualized coaching, give and get structured group feedback, and work on technical skills like reading music, analyzing lyrics and vocal lines, and honing how to convey emotion through your voice. If you’re ready to move into supporting or principal roles, feel more secure in your auditions, or get closer to professional level performance, this studio is for you!Â
All singers will be required to come in with two songs (one uptempo and one downtempo) already learned, so that work time in class can be focused on leveling up performance rather than teaching music.Â
Studio participants will be sent an info document after registering with details about what and how to prepare!
