September 13 – December 13, 2025
We offer theatre classes for students ages 6-17 on Saturday mornings via two Performance Groups:
- Theatre Explorers Class (Saturdays from 9am to 10am. ages 6-12)
This is a class focused on helping kids become better actors. Students learn to use their voices, bodies, and minds to create new worlds through theatre. Students in Theatre Explorers will have an opportunity to act in scenes written by the Theatre Makers. - Exploradores de Teatro es una clase centrada en ayudar a los niños a convertirse en mejores actores. Los estudiantes aprenden a usar sus voces, cuerpos y mentes para crear nuevos mundos a través del teatro.
- Theatre Makers Class (Saturdays from 10:30am to 12:30pm, ages 8-17)
This class is an intermediate class that builds to a performance. Additional optional stagecraft classes may be offered from 12:30 – 2:00 on some Saturdays, dates to be determined. These classes require an additional fee. The class culminates in a performance at 12:30 pm on December 13, 2025. This class is an extension of our Theatre Explorers class. - Creadores de Teatro es una clase de nivel intermedio que culmina en una actuación final.

Learn and Explore
The Fonseca Theatre Company is more than just a theatre. In addition to our professional season, we offer a range of civic and educational opportunities. It is integral to our mission and values that we work with our neighbors in Indy’s Near Westside community through neighborhood meetings, clean-ups, sporting events, community festivals, and more.
Programs include:
- A theater season of socially engaged plays highlighting the work of playwrights of color
- Multiple variety programs on off nights (poetry, music, improv, and more)
- Quality theatre classes for children and teens
- Community meeting space and a neighborhood advocate
- Neighborhood special events such as our annual Rice & Beans Festival
Performances in Context
Our productions also include post-show discussions, advocacy opportunities, program notes, art exhibits, and more that directly engage our audiences and highlight the important topic at hand. For the Fonseca Theatre Company, it is essential that our work does not exist in a vacuum and we want to hear what our audiences think.
Our goal is to provide an open forum to discuss the issues presented on our stage and tangible actions that audiences may take into their own lives and community as we all strive towards an equitable society.
