Coming Soon: Free After-School Theater Foundations Class at Franklin for 3rd-5th Grad3

We are thrilled to share that Franklin will be offering a brand-new Theater Foundations class this fall, led by Melissa Sullivan, a Franklin parent and experienced performing arts professional. This class introduces students to the foundations of theater in a fun, creative, and supportive environment. This 10-week course will be held once a week after school for 1.5 hours (most likely between Sept. 30–Dec. 3).

The program is designed to give students the tools of theater—voice, movement, creativity, collaboration, and stage presence—while encouraging confidence, teamwork, and fun. Whether your child is brand new to theater or has prior experience, this class will challenge and inspire them.

Details at a Glance:

• Who: Students in Grades 3–5

• When: Once a week, after school (final day/time TBA)

• Duration: 10 weeks | 1.5 hours per class
