Friday Seeds III: Pirate Past Noon KIDS

About our Seeds III Program:

Our Seeds III Program (ages 10-14) encourages a love and appreciation of theater performance with scripts that are about 30-40 minutes long. Simple costumes, props, and games are used as skill builders to encourage ensemble work and bonding of classes. History of theater, theatrical language, and basic performance technique is introduced to begin fostering education and understanding of theater. 

About the Show:

Magic Tree House: Pirates Past Noon KIDS is an adaptation of the Mary Pope Osborne's award-winning fantasy adventure books from the Magic Tree House book series.  This time around, Jack and Annie return to visit the magic tree house on a dreary, rainy day. They find a book where the sun is shining and the waves are crashing, so they wish to travel to this tropical place. They realize that they are in the eighteenth-century Caribbean, the time of pirates! The siblings meet Captain Bones, a mean old pirate who captures the two and forces them to help him find buried treasure. It's up to Jack and Annie to find their way back to the tree house and make their way home.

Sibling Discount:

Families who have siblings participating receive a $25 discount for each additional child participating in that same show title. This is automatically applied through our registration system when multiple immediate family participants enroll.

If you are a Visions or charter school participant, please contact us and follow all instructions to ensure participation.  An approved voucher does not guarantee enrollment.

Our Waiting List Policy: 

If your child is on the waitlist, and a spot for that class opens up, you will be notified prior to the first class. We do not add actors to class after the first day. 

Casting Policy: 

Roles are not negotiable. If you or your child is unhappy with the assigned role, we encourage you to support them through their disappointment and move forward with a positive outlook. If you choose to withdraw from the class/performance after casting is announced, no refund will be provided.  

Closed Classes and Rehearsal Policies: 

Only participants, teachers, and staff are allowed in the rehearsal room during classes. Friends, siblings, parents, grandparents, out of town guests, and any other people are not allowed to participate or sit in on the class process.  This policy ensures a safe space environment where students are allowed to take risks, be silly, loud, and have fun free from judgment, pressure to entertain or to do it 'right.' Our Program Assistants are there to assist with reading, remembering where to go, and help with names, dances, and songs.

We understand that you may be curious as to what goes on during classes, and to see just how it all works, which is why we follow up every class with an email “update” to start that conversation between you and your child. Our teachers are great at communicating any challenges or triumphs with you 5 minutes before and after class and are happy to answer questions and help explain the goings on to you then.
