After School programs
Partnering with Elementary Schools in Shoreline and Edmonds School Districts to bring your performer enrichment programs each quarter.
Each quarter, our Mainstage Musical or Play rotates between local elementary schools.
If your school is scheduled this season, here’s what you can expect:
🎭 Performers Program
