Season 3 of Scene & Seen is underway!

Last year we had eight elementary school graduates from our Tuesday ensemble. With free after school programs offered in their middle schools, we didn’t formally invite families back, assuming they’d just outgrew us. SEVEN of them have returned …. and they brought their excitement and experience with them!

One 6th grader walked our newest Kindergartener through her first improv scene today with such empathy and kindness, and we couldn’t be more proud of their growth.

There’s still time to join in on the fun! Register Now.

✨ Christmas Past ✨
Tomorrow night, we gather.
Not because everything is perfect, but because presence is powerful. Because memory matters. Because joy and grief can sit at the same table.

Come craft with us, laugh with us, and share a holiday meal.
