The Bonita Canyon Theater Program, launched in 2022, offers 4th–6th grade students an exciting opportunity to explore the world of performance. Each winter, students audition for roles and then dedicate the spring to rehearsals, building teamwork, confidence, and stage skills along the way. The season culminates with performances in early May, giving our community the chance to celebrate their hard work and talent.

The program helps students discover their creativity, develop public speaking skills, and for many, it is the first step in finding a true love of theater and performance. The Bonita Canyon Theater Program continues to grow each year, enriching our school community and inspiring young performers to shine both on and off the stage.

Bonita Canyon Talent Show invites students from all grade levels to showcase their creativity and unique abilities. From singing, dancing, and playing instruments to comedy, magic tricks, poetry, and even juggling, the show highlights the many ways our students love to express themselves.
