The Lights Up team have been running theatre programs in Vancouver since 2006, creating Lights Up Musical Theatre Schools in 2016. We provide weekly musical theatre classes, after school programs and week-long seasonal camps for children and teens aged between 3 and 18 years of age. We continue to grow as Vancouver’s premier children’s theatre program, with over 1,100 children enrolled in our programs in the Lower Mainland each week of the school term, and hundreds more attending our yearly Spring Break and Summer Camps. At Lights Up, we teach musical theatre fundamentals that help students shine on stage and in all aspects of their lives – from building confidence to improving public speaking, becoming more confident and outgoing, but mostly having lots of fun with performing arts! Backed by consistently high levels of satisfaction from the families of our students, we offer various performance opportunities – from smaller, in-house presentations to full-scale productions in some of the region’s top theatres, such as the Vancouver Playhouse and Queen Elizabeth Theatres. Students do not have to be budding starlets to benefit from our programs and no prior musical theatre experience is required. Theatre is more about the process than the end production – our students learn to work in teams, solve problems, be creative and explore their talents, while making new friends. A leading provider of children’s extra-curricular activities, we run classes every weekend on Vancouver’s Westside, Eastside and North Shore, as well as Richmond, South Surrey and Langley. We also offer after schools programming at a selection of elementary schools in the Lower Mainland, alongside the various school districts and school PACs. Our after school programs are suitable for most elementary schools and arranged by request. To find out more about our schools, visit us at www.lightsuptheatre.ca.
