JAXX Theatricals

Calabash is fortunate to work with Jaxx Theatricals as our after-school theater production company. This is our 13th year with Jaxx, and we’ll once again have two productions:  one in the fall and another in the winter/spring.  Some basic info about the program:

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

  • Student to teacher ratio is 15:1.

  • 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. To be added to the waitlist, email calabashptopresident@gmail.com.

NEW to Calabash for the 2025-2026 School Year!

The CodeFu course topic for this session will switch to Chess. This is a device-free class and will be offered on Mondays (Grades 3-5) and Fridays (Grades 1-2).

In this chess course designed for 1st-5th graders, students will embark on an exciting journey to master the fundamentals of chess. They wil learn how each piece moves, understand key concepts such as check checkmate, and special moves like castling and en passant, and develop strategic thinking through basic tactics and endgame principles. Engaging activities, interactive games, and a friendly mini- tournament will ensure a fun and educational experience. By the end of the course, students will have gained confidence in playing chess and developed critical thinking skills that extend beyond the chessboard.
