Village Arts Theatre is a non-profit dedicated to theatre, dance, and visual arts, with a mission of building an inclusive community through teaching performing and visual arts that supports personal development of children in an environment where families of Valley Village and the greater San Fernando Valley region can connect and create. The organization was founded in 2011 on the campus of Colfax Charter Elementary School and established its own arts space across the street from Colfax Charter in 2018. Co-founders Pam Shafer and John Moser lead Village Arts, and Pam Shafer Moser states that she wants each of her students to experience their own personal best, whether that is a child who is very comfortable on stage or a shy child whose big moment is confidently saying a line and looking out into the audience.
Village Arts Theatre offers year-round arts programs after school, on weekends, and during the summer, including Broadway-style theatrical productions for elementary and middle school students with a primary focus on creative process and teamwork. The program balances technical skill-building, from vocal health to stagecraft, with a fast-paced, professional rehearsal environment, and includes a Visual Arts program dedicated to nurturing the “total artist,” with a curriculum that spans classical techniques and contemporary crafts and focuses on observation, composition, and self-expression. Homework Club Plus includes daily PLUS enrichment such as ceramics, 3D art, and high-energy movement games, and a walking chaperone service is available from Colfax Charter for the after-school program.
Village Arts collaborates with its neighbors at El Pueblo De Niños Head Start program, maintains strong ties and a central goal to collaborate with Colfax Charter Elementary School to help address the longstanding gap in arts education that many Los Angeles schools have experienced, and works with local artists to help teach, create programming, and develop and expand programming in visual and performing arts. Village Arts offers programs at Colfax Charter Elementary School and other independent schools in the North Hollywood area and offers scholarships to families in need. New mailing list subscribers receive a $20 coupon for Kids & Teens Classes and Adults Classes, and donation rewards tiers include Balcony, Mezzanine, Orchestra, Front Row, Box Seats, House Seats, and Center Stage, with swag and VIP seating benefits.
