Starting Arts is excited to be at Moreland Middle School

Starting Arts is a nonprofit organization that provides visual and performing arts education programs to public and private schools throughout the Santa Clara County. We employ professional artists who enjoy working with children and also meet the hiring standards of the Moreland School District. We are committed to quality!

We are offering a Theatre program for students in grades 6-8 on Mondays and Wednesdays after school starting February 4th. This year the students will be performing “Aladdin Jr.” Performances are scheduled for May 1, 2 (at 8pm) & May 3 (at 7pm). The last week of classes will be used for mandatory rehearsals. A tech schedule will be sent out during the first month of class.

Moreland Class schedule:  

Theatre:
Monday / Wednesday 2:45-4:15 pm
Location: Multi-Purpose Room
Grades: 6-8

PLEASE NOTE: Most classes require additional time (outside of class) for student practice, rehearsals and performances. Theatre class will be held twice a week and students must attend both days.

Students choosing to enroll MUST commit to respectful behavior and regular attendance. Like team sports, performing arts requires participation, dedication and teamwork. Repeated unexcused absences or poor attitude may result in student dismissal.

The deadlines for returning enrollment forms for Theatre is January 30th, 2008.Enrollment is limited; however, classes need a minimum of 20 students to cover costs. Overbooked classes will be filled by lottery. Refunds will be made if classes are unavailable.

The total cost for enrolling in this Theatre program is $150 per student. Your cost for enrolling your child is $75. The Moreland School District has generously offered to pay the additional cost of $75 per student to bring this program to your children. We are very grateful for their support of the arts.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We have just moved to our new office at 2065 Martin Avenue, Suite 108 in Santa Clara, 95050. Our phone number is still the same: 408-492-9022. Don’t forget to check out our website at www.startingarts.com.
