2023: Grades K-4 Winter/Spring Programs

Whether your child is new to performing or adores the spotlight, Theatre Aspen’s after-school programs are designed to bring out the best in our youngest performers. Our year-round elementary classes use children’s literature and fine arts to teach performance foundations. Students will let their creativity shine through theatre games, song and dance, and art activities. Each K-4 session ends with a showcase for friends and family!

Make the leap from page to stage! In our Elementary Story Adventures classes, students will deepen their appreciation for the arts through the exploration of new and classic children’s literature. Artistic expression, performing confidence, peer collaboration (and silly storytelling) will all be in the spotlight for this fun-filled sessions.
