FOCUSfish After School Programs
​

The theater program at Topanga Elementary Charter is so well-known, many parents first hear about the school by seeing one of our spectacular theatrical productions. Parents Jill Williams and Sue Schmitt started the Topanga Elementary Theater Arts (TETA) Program back in 2007 and over the years the program has continued to grow and expand. Between 100-120 students typically participate in the theater program's spring musical each year - more than a third of the school!

The spring musical is much more than just another school play; it is a community event that showcases the incredible talents of the TECS students and pulls the whole school together, from the youngest (TK–1st grade) "Rising Stars" to the graduating fifth-grade class. The program has expanded to include backstage crew experience for kids who prefer to be behind the scenes. For the last several years, the spring musical has become an official after-school program, offered through FOCUSfish.

Since 2015, the TECS theater program has been fortunate to perform at many local venues, including Class Act Theater in Woodland Hills, AC Stelle Middle School Auditorium, and Calabasas High School’s Multi-Purpose Room. In 2022 the Spring Musical will be performed on the stage in the TECS Auditorium.
​
Since 2021 FOCUSfish has also been offering year round theatre arts after school programs at Topanga Elementary.
