Join us for some fun and frivolity … and, of course, theater!
Fall registration opens Summer 2025.
Join SPARC for fun and frivolity in one of our Some Have Greatness: After-School Programs. These programs are always process and ensemble-based so a child new to theater will feel welcome, a child experienced with treading the boards will feel challenged, and everyone will learn something new and make friends along the way. We hold in-person classes at our rehearsal space (2172 Railroad Avenue, Livermore, CA).
Teaching Artists from SPARC offer a unique blend of skill-building and performance.
Check out our video for a glimpse of our education programs. For more information, to bring a program to your school, or to be informed when registration for new sessions begins email Education@SPARCtheater.org.
