Theater classes for 4th grader
Hi I’d love to get advice on where to find available theater classes for a. 4 grader. I tried kids and dance and berkeley play house but they fill up fast and don’t tell you clearly when enrollment begins.
Maybe there is something in Orinda/Lafayette area? Thank you so much!

The classes at CCCT (in El Cerrito) fill up fast to, but you can add them to your list to keep an eye open for! They seem to do a wait-list, too.

You mentioned Berkeley Playhouse already. I have found them to be very communicative about signing up for classes. They will announce via email and on their website. Sign up for the call usually happens in July. It is just that it is very popular, so you have to set a reminder for yourself to log in when the sign up window opens and click as quickly as possible. (Bring the same attitude as you would as if you were trying to score a Taylor Swift ticket, because alas… this is the Bay Area and people do bring this level of intensity for desirable after school and summer programs…)
Mr. D’s Music Club’s after school class might be a good fit. It is easy to access for Lamorinda family because it is off of 24 in Oakland, just through the tunnel. We have done many years of summer programs and my theater kid loved the program very much. https://www.mrdsmusicclub.com/creativespaces-afterschool
