Why should I/my child join?

Fendig Theatre for Children is for everyone. Performing and creative arts provide education in a diverse range of skill sets such as acting, singing and dancing but also how to work together, discipline, confidence, organization and technical skills that can be used as your student grows. The experience is a great way for kids to meet people and have fun!

I/my child has accessibility needs such as physical, hearing, sight, etc... How can I talk to someone to work out participation?

Please contact Fendig by email using the address:     [email protected]
We will then get in touch and work on strategies for you/your child to participate.

I'm not eligible. How else can I participate?
