Kreative Kids Theater

AEvery child is a star, when they join us for this unique musical experience led by Freesia Raine. In a supportive and playful environment, students develop confidence and collaboration skills while learning lines and lyrics. (No reading or memorization skill is required, but students must be able to attend class without their parent.) 

The 7-week series concludes with an evening show for families. Participating parents must assist with simple costuming, scenery and props. Each family provides snacks for one class meeting and for the performance night. Hand-outs detail the play’s needs as it evolves.

Instructor: Freesia Raine, a singer/songwriter and music teacher with many years experience offering unique programs for pre-school and school-age children.
