About Broadway Babies: Here's a chance for the very youngest rising stars to sing, dance, and play! This program is born from our desire to provide a 100% playful experience with no pressure... in which children can be introduced to the stage and performing with fun! This session will include a performance on July 24, including simple costumes, props & a program.
Participants receive audio recordings and a video of the songs, to encourage familiarity with the songs and encourage multi-sensory learning through repetition at home.
Comments from parents:
"BROADWAY BABIES has shown me that kids are capable to do and learn so many things at such a young age. The fact that they can follow instructions to create a short play is amazing! All the patience that Ms. Marney has and the way she teaches them really makes a great difference in how quickly they catch everything." - Carla P.
"My daughter talked about the show all week and she loved practicing at home with the video!" - Mike R.
"This program is a wonderful safe place for creative independent play!" - Sarah H.
"My boys love it They can be who they are and they ask me to come back almost daily." - Huibrie P

About the Playwriting Class: In this program, students will learn the fundamentals of writing plays and musicals, and create a script (and optionally, songs) of their own. The approach will be a fun twist based on using Aristotle’s hierarchy of elements to build plot, character, and theme...greatly infused with creativity and self-expression!
Students will learn a new concept each week, along with a weekly Playbook. Missed weeks will require reviewing the Playbook at home, to stay on track. There will be suggested assignments to complete in between classes each week, to gently move toward completing a short script. Note that in between classes, children will need to have a way to record their words -dictating to someone else to write or type is just fine!
There are two sessions, divided by age. Students who want to partner with a sibling or friend as co-writers are welcome to do so!

About Garden Art: We'll continue building out the Fairy Garden that we've worked on all Spring! Kids have been making fairy houses and buildings for our garden these past few months, and now the garden is ready for them! Make sure the fairies have absolutely everything they need in order to have a thriving village!
In addition to adorning our garden, you'll also have make-and-take craft projects to bring home. The whole family is welcome, including parents! We ask that children under age 6 need to be accompanied by parent or older sibling helper who can assist them with the crafts.
