Our Mission

Fallbrook Players Junior Conservatory is an  arts education program that started in 1980.  We specialize in training in the arts (singing, drama, dance, comedy, and technical theater) to give young people a wholesome, fun and safe place to learn. 

FPJC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, age, or religion.


Benefits of Theater

The benefits of musical theater are enormous. The arts convey knowledge and meaning not learned through the study of other subjects. They represent a form of thinking and a way of knowing that is based in human imagination and judgment. The arts delight children, but they are also intellectual disciplines of substance. Like language or mathematics, the arts involve the use of complex symbols to communicate. To attain competence in the arts, it is necessary to gain literacy with these symbol systems. Some, like music and painting, use non-verbal symbols; others, like poetry and song, use language in particular ways. Creative activity is also a source of joy and wonder, while it bids its students to touch and taste and hear and see the world. Children are powerfullynoelle_yasmeen_sid_maddix.JPG (2545841 bytes) affected by storytelling, music, dance, and the visual arts. We've always known that music is good for your spirits. Now, scientists are confirming that it's good for your brain, too. According to new research, active music making has a direct connection to the brain's inner workings-in fact; the brain seems to operate according to patterns that closely resemble musical notes! Studies have linked active music making with better language and math ability, improved school grades, better-adjusted social behavior, and improvements in "spatial-temporal reasoning," which is the foundation of engineering and science as well as enabling a child to develop flexible creative abilities which surveys indicate are becoming less common in today’s youth.

Dance education provides experience in basic body movements, and maintenance of one's physical fitness that provides carry-over to a child's entire life.  Control is attained through motor skill development, cardiovascular fitness and emotional self-awareness. Physical education, just like any other phase of education, is not restricted to only the development of its subject area. Physical education gained through dance also contributes to the social, emotional, and mental phases of the total education of the individual.                                                                                                                                           

Acting in a cooperative theater group also allows children to grow socially.  Experiencing acceptance, respect and trust from caring adults helps children to develop these very qualities. Our student-actors become responsible for their actions through awareness, reflection, natural consequences, and the evaluation of the positive and negative effects of their choices.  We expect our actors to be capable of self-discipline, focused attention, and independent action. Students learn responsibility, commitment, teamwork and theater skills while building their self-confidence and becoming better citizens.
