Take The Stage!
FAPA’s preschool and kindergarten curriculums are specially designed to give children the opportunity for creativity, self expression and FUN! This is a great class to help build confidence as well as the pre-reading and reading skills that students will need as they start school. Each week is unique with singing, dancing, acting, playing games and making crafts. There is something for every child to enjoy!
Acting, Improv, & Play Productions
Our non-musical classes and productions create opportunities for students to experience the confidence-building benefits of the arts. Whether students are beginning actors or seasoned performers, these environments hone those skills during weekly classes and rehearsals and then put them into practice during demonstrations and performances!
Musical Theater Classes & Productions
Whether performing in a full length musical, taking a group voice class or experiencing a musical theater-focused dance class, students are expanding their range as a performer and building the triple threat skills of singing, acting and dancing! Regardless of experience level, FAPA’s musical theater classes and productions offer opportunities for every student to shine!
Technical Theater
Our technical theater classes work in all disciplines of theater learning everything that goes into the magic behind the scenes. From scenic design to running crew backstage for a production to prop building and scene painting, this is hands-on learning at its best!
The Village for Babies & Toddlers
FAPA is thrilled to be home to The Village, a uniquely developed environment providing enrichment and community for babies and toddlers as well as their caregivers! Each class is an exploration of music, movement and sensory exercises designed to give your child the opportunity to explore the arts while parents and caregivers build community.

1st and 2nd Grades
FAPA’s environments offer countless benefits for our youngest elementary-aged students! Whether you choose an acting class or a musical, you’ll see the spark of creativity shine in your child. From acting games that teach students to think on their feet and feel confident in front of their peers to learning lines, choreography and blocking in a show, each environment offers your child unique experiences that will boost their self-esteem and confidence while laying a solid foundation for overall growth and development.
3rd-5th Grades
For this age group, engaging in the arts is essential. It ignites creativity, enhances cognitive abilities, and deepens emotional intelligence. Whether you decide to enroll in a musical, an acting, dance or singing class or a non-musical play production, our environments at FAPA sharpen critical thinking and problem-solving while building self-esteem and fostering well-rounded growth during these formative years. We love seeing the impact of the arts on these older elementary-aged students. Being a “theater kid” is particularly special at this age because we see the confidence come to life that will carry them through that tricky transition to middle school.
4th-6th Grades
We all know the tween years are tough! Giving students the opportunity for self-expression through the arts is an impactful way to encourage them to express themselves authentically and explore complex emotions, promoting emotional intelligence in a way that is unique to the arts. At FAPA, we also love seeing students learn perseverance as they tackle a tricky piece of choreography or a meaningful scene. All of our environments are designed to nurture self-esteem, which we know is crucial during the transitional tween years. Whether you choose a production or a class at FAPA, the arts will uniquely empower tweens to excel academically and emotionally, providing a platform for self-discovery and growth as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of adolescence.
6th-12th Grades
The performing arts are ideal as an activity for this age group, offering a unique blend of personal development and creative expression. Whether your child is interested in being on stage or behind the scenes at FAPA, participating in theater builds confidence, peer-to-peer relationship skills, and teamwork. These experiences foster discipline and dedication while nurturing their emotional intelligence, allowing them to express complex emotions in a safe and encouraging environment. Additionally, the performing arts provide an outlet for self-expression, helping teens cope with stress and connect with their peers. We love seeing teens explore their passions through the arts!
The Village
We believe it truly does take a village to raise a child and we want to help families find community with one another and enrichment for their children. Our passion is facilitating special memories and friendships and we hope you’ll join us! Each week we use meaningful music, movement and sensory experiences to provide enrichment for your baby/toddler. After the formal class ends, children will be invited to experience a time of free play while parents are able to chat and build community and friendships. Our goal is to build an amazing community of people on all walks of the parenting journey who will support and encourage one another while facilitating our children’s growth and development through meaningful experiences.
