SPRING MUSICAL - FOCUSFISH
​

FOCUSfish Musical Theatre Program At Topanga Elementary

FOCUSfish is a LAUSD vendor that has offered artistic school programming since 2003 and has been involved in TECS productions since 2010.
​
  • Program runs January 6-March 10, 2020
  • Rehearsals will happen after-school from 3-5pm on Tues-Wed-Fri
  • Participants will learn scenes, creative movement, music and dance that will culminate in an off-campus performance for people of all ages (location TBD)
  • Auditions will happen in December in the auditorium.
  • The program is open to children in grades TK-5th.
  • This 10 week program will be $350-$400. (Only $35-40/week)
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 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 (K–2nd 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. As the producers' and directors' children have grown up and left TECS, other talented and dedicated parents have stepped up to fill their shoes so that the dream of a theater program continues. As of 2019-2020, 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 local venues, including Class Act Theater in Woodland Hills, AC Stelle Middle School Auditorium, and Calabasas High School’s Multi-Purpose Room.
