Our Youth Programs
From Mini-Musicals to Teen Ensembles—find your voice on our stage.
Performing Arts
Programs
Village Arts Theatre brings the Broadway experience to the San Fernando Valley, offering high-caliber productions and expert-led training for children and teens.
Our program balances technical skill-building—from vocal health to stagecraft—with a fast-paced, professional rehearsal environment.
We pride ourselves on pushing the boundaries of youth theatre, ensuring every student leaves the wings feeling empowered, prepared, and inspired.
Homework handled, creativity unleashed.
After-School
Program
Welcome to Homework Club Plus!
Experience a balance of structure and imagination in our amazing after-school program for K-5th grade. Running Monday through Friday, after-school until 6:00 PM, we provide a warm “second home” that handles homework, a seamless transition between “plus” classes and theatre rehearsals. We provide a healthy snack, dedicated teacher support for homework, and open play time.
Once homework is wrapped up, students transition into a different hands-on creative adventure each afternoon led by our expert teaching artists, featuring clay play, project-based studio art, inventive building in Junkyard Joy class, creative movement, strategy games, and our NEW outdoor gardening. Because our classes are now fully all-inclusive, enrollment gives your child complete, built-in access to this vibrant, all-in-one experience where they can unwind, learn, and let their imaginations run wild after school!
Clay, 3D Art, and Graffiti—where getting messy is part of the masterpiece.
Visual Arts
Programs
The Visual Arts program at Village Arts is dedicated to nurturing the “total artist.” Whether through our weekly sessions or intensive summer camps, students explore a diverse curriculum that spans classical techniques and contemporary crafts.
By focusing on observation, composition, and self-expression, we empower young creatives to see the world differently. From the first charcoal stroke to the final gallery showcase, our students learn that art isn’t just something you make—it’s a way of thinking.

This Fall We're off to see the Wizard
The Wizard Of Oz, JR.
Wizard of Oz has delighted families for decades and tells the story of the young Dorothy Gale as she is swept away from her Kansas farm by a powerful tornado and transported to the magical Land of Oz. Along the Yellow Brick Road, she befriends a Scarecrow searching for a brain, a Tin Man longing for a heart, and a Cowardly Lion hoping to find courage. Together, they embark on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City, encountering colorful characters, exciting adventures, and the Wicked Witch of the West along the way. Filled with beloved songs, laughter, heart, and timeless lessons about friendship, bravery, and believing in yourself, The Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition is a magical adventure that reminds us there’s truly no place like home.
MINI PROGRAM:
The mini version is lovingly adapted by our own Ms. Jeanne. The Mini program is an age appropriate introduction to theatre, song and dance. The kids get to participate in the hilarious situations, snappy dialogue and a hit-parade score of wonderful music! Aside from rehearsing for the big show, the kids will play theatre games, explore creating characters and have fun making new friends as they all create this magical musical story together

A Message
From our Co-Founder
“I want each of my students to experience their own personal best,” says Pam Shafer Moser, the co-founder of Village Arts, “whether that’s a natural little star who’s going to get up there and take the world by storm or if it’s the shy child who is very nervous about being on stage, whose big moment is the fact that they have a line and they can stand up there confidently and say that line and look out into the audience.”
focusing our energy on building
Confidence and Community through Collaboration, Creativity, Connection, Communication, and Compassion.
Our Community
El Pueblo De Niños
Village Arts has had the incredible joy of collaborating with our neighbors, El Pueblo De Niños Head Start program!
It’s been an inspiring and heartwarming experience, filled with laughter and creativity.
Colfax Charter
Village Arts was founded in 2011 on the campus of Colfax Charter Elementary School. What began as a fall after-school theatre program grew into a year-round arts education nonprofit offering programs in both the performing and visual arts.
In 2018, Village Arts established its own arts space across the street from Colfax Charter. Despite this expansion, its strong ties to Colfax remain at the heart of the organization. A central goal of Village Arts is to collaborate with Colfax Charter to help address the longstanding gap in arts education that many Los Angeles schools have experienced for years.
