In the spectacular state of Michigan, where the Great Lakes splash against the sandy shores and tall, leafy trees reach up to tickle the clouds, there's a group of extraordinary kids, known as the Wacky Thespians of Michigan. They are not your ordinary band of heroes; they don't wear capes or masks, but rather colorful costumes and expressive makeup! Their superpower? The magic of theater and drama! The leader of this vibrant group is a sprightly fellow known as Sir Laugh-a-lot. Now, don't let his name fool you! Sir Laugh-a-lot is not just a master of jokes and funny faces but also a virtuoso of drama, able to pluck the heartstrings of his audience with a mere monologue. His wild, rainbow-colored hair is as flamboyant as his personality, and he wears a top hat that's always at a jaunty angle. These kids, from the bustling city of Detroit to the peaceful shores of Traverse City, spend their days diving into the magical world of theater. Whether they're reenacting scenes from famous plays, creating their own stories, or simply pretending to be a tree (a very dramatic tree, of course), they fill their time with boundless creativity, hearty laughter, and a good dose of whimsy. The Wacky Thespians of Michigan are more than just a group of theater-loving kids - they are a community, bound by their shared passion for drama, their commitment to each other, and most importantly, their endless pursuit of fun. So, if you ever find yourself in Michigan, keep an eye out for Sir Laugh-a-lot and his troupe of merry thespians. They might just pull you into their next performance!

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
