Does your child turn every hallway into a stage? Constantly put on shows for the cat? Let their imagination shine in Pop Up Players, a one-of-a-kind theater experience where kids become the writers, designers, actors, and directors of their own original play! Each session is completely unique and guided by student ideas and filled with seasonal inspiration, creativity, and collaboration. Whether your child is a confident performer or a quiet behind-the-scenes visionary, there’s a role for everyone.
Older students help lead, write, and mentor. Younger or emerging readers will still shine. We adapt the process to every comfort level. We’ll end each session with a performance in the Willow River Auditorium on the final class day at 5:00 PM. Sign up for one session or many—no two are ever the same!
Rehearsals run right up to showtime (5:30 PM) so please don't arrive too early! Please send a small after-school snack with your child.
