After-School Enrichment Programs

 

JAXX Theatricals

Calabash is fortunate to work with Jaxx Theatricals as our after-school theater production company. This is our 14th year with Jaxx, and we’ll have two productions:  one in the fall and another in the winter/spring.  For the 2026-2027 school year, rehearsals will be on MONDAYS or FRIDAYS.

  • Productions for this year are open to students in grades 2-5.

  • We have up to two casts per show.

  • The final week of rehearsal is called “Tech Week”, when all technical elements of the show are incorporated (costumes, lighting, sound/mics, hair/make-up etc).  During Tech Week, the cast rehearses every day (or every other day in the event of a split cast).  Cast members are expected to cancel all conflicting after-school activities for that week.

  • Tuition covers all rehearsals, costumes, make-up, backstage professional assistance, etc.  Your only responsibility is to ensure your child has undergarments (bike shorts and a tank top) and a pair of stage appropriate shoes for Tech Week (Jaxx will specify any color/type requirements).

  • Enrollment for Jaxx is heavily impacted at Jaxx, and therefore entry is based on a rolling waitlist system. Details on enrollment windows are shared via e-blast.
