CTC Afterschool Arts (Ages 5-13)

Tues, Wed, Thurs, 3:30 pm - 5:45 pm

Stay Tuned for Future Dates

The CTC is starting a new afterschool arts program! This is the perfect way for your student to have a safe and fun afterschool setting that allows them to nurture their artistic side.

It's a fun, accepting, creative, open, social, and highly engaging environment for young people of all abilities who have a passion for the arts. Led by teacher Matt Fraza, the program is built by and for the kids with their passions directing the course of each session. Students can sign up for a full session of 8 weeks or drop-in on a day-to-day basis.

Each day includes a regular, reliable schedule with time for both social interaction and creative collaboration. We will take a centers-based approach wherein small groups focused on areas of interest work with adult help alongside groups working independently.

Each session will include a culminating experience that can be shared with parents and caregivers such as a gallery night with student performances. Our youth classes focus on nurturing the creativity of our students, creating performances and art that students feel connected to, invested in, and proud of. This will be a place and time where young people can explore their interests and share them with teaching artists that can give them caring feedback and help them to grow.

The CTC is a place where great memories are made and where dreams can be explored and made real for performers and patrons alike. This program aims to teach and empower the next generation of artists and theater-makers. Afterschool Arts is a fun and exciting alternative to more strictly-focused afterschool programs that allows kids to find joy, collaborate, and build connections and community.
