Get to know SPARC through one of our free Pop-Up classes! We offer one Pop-Up class per age group several times per year to provide an opportunity to learn more about what we do in longer-term SPARC classes. Pop-Ups are one-time workshops offering an hour of exploration through different theatrical lessons. Topics may include storytelling, dance, singing, improv games, knowledge-building theatre exercises, and more. Pop-Ups are also a great way for young people to connect with new friends who share an interest in performing arts.

SPARC faculty and staff will be available after Pop-Ups to offer information about upcoming classes and opportunities for students to get involved.
