Women on Weights

Weight training is an essential component for a healthy body especially for women. It transforms the body from the inside out. Some benefits of weight training include increased muscle mass, loss of body fat, reduced risk of osteoporosis, improved posture, higher calorie expenditures, enhanced mood and reduction in stress. If you want to expand your workouts to include weight training then W.O.W. is the class for you! Trainer Carrie teaches weight training fundamentals and use of four to five different pieces of equipment covering several muscle groups. At the end of the program, participants have the knowledge and skills to train their muscles using machines, cables, barbells and dumbbells. You'll feel comfortable and confident in five weeks.

Young Rembrandts Preschool Drawing

Let your preschooler “fall” in love with our lessons. Just like the rainbow our youngest artists create in the month of September; we cover a colorful and pattern-rich spectrum of subjects. We soak in the warm colors of the season as we draw a radiating sun face. We are careful not to get tangled up in our patterned spider web we draw in October! With the coming of the winter months, we draw and celebrate with a nutcracker that takes his job very seriously. All these (and many more exciting lessons) while we enhance our fine motor skills, learn to stay on task and follow directions and learn the critical thinking skills so vital in the classroom!

Kidz Theater presents The Jungle Book

By Vera Morris

Come hear the incredible tale of Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves. With the help of his friends — the bear Baloo, the panther Bagheera and the python Kaa — Mowgli learns the ways of the jungle. Some of the jungle boy’s adventures are gripping, like the time he encounters the hooded cobra who guards the treasure vault in the Deserted City. Others, like the coconut-tossing monkeys who take him prisoner, are hysterical. But the jungle is also dangerous, for it is the home of Shere Khan, the man-eating tiger who has vowed to destroy Mowgli. With his fawning jackal follower, Shere Khan plots to take control of the jungle. Mowgli must use all his strength and courage to stop Shere Khan before it is too late. This faithful adaptation is extremely simple to produce and rehearse. It will enchant your audiences and have everyone cheering when Mowgli declares, "I am Mowgli, Keeper of the Law and Guardian of the Jungle!"

Children’s Theater presents Break A Leg

By Eddie McPherson

Trudy, new to the theatre scene, has just been hired as stage manager for an upcoming play at a small community theatre. The problem is Trudy is inept, clumsy and more than that, she's a jinx. The cast agrees that Trudy is a modernday gremlin who is cursing the show and that she must go once and for all. So, why doesn't the director fire her? Because Trudy is the theatre owner's only niece. Realizing that throwing her out isn't an option, they resolve to de-hex her instead in order to make the theatre a safe haven once again. An old book of theatre superstitions is brought in and the reverse-the-curse shenanigans and laughs begin.

Teen Transformation: Life Coaching for Teens Lab

Today's teenagers have so many dreams, but so many distractions too. This lab helps them manage those distractions and get on track to their finish line, whatever that means personally to them. Teens quickly learn that success is never a straight line, but instead very crooked and that's ok! Whether a teen is struggling or just wants to better prepare for life, this lab is for them! Lessons in communication hacks, reputation repair, college prep secrets, warding off worries, perfectionism, friend drama, motivation, bully management and goal setting are all revealed. Little pivots can lead to huge changes. The first 60-minutes is for teens only and the final 30 minutes is open for parents to join in and ask questions/comment. Treats served.
