WINTER
September 7 - December 18
MUSICAL
When an out-of-order claw game suddenly turns back on, all of the toys are ecstatic! Well… all of the toys except for Dot, a terrified stuffed cow. Dot’s desperate to hold onto her home and her best friend, Aiden. Can Dot conquer her fear of the unknown with some help from the Flair Bears, Mighty Mutant Power Turtles, Beanie Elders, and the all-knowing Mystical 8-ball?

We will rehearse Tuesdays and Wednesdays
(with added rehearsal days closer to show time!)
Students are required to commit to at least one (1) of the rehearsal days- Tuesday or Wednesday, or both*.
*Being available for only one rehearsal day may affect the
size/responsibility of your child's role.
FUSE does not meet on Fridays, Holidays, or Vacation weeks.

WE ASKED THE KIDS ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH BASE THEATER.
HERE'S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY...
MEET THE TEAM

We are excited to announce that FUSE will be led by our very own Ms. Kayte, a passionate and dedicated theatre educator who has been inspiring our BASE children for the past five years through her creative work, including writing and directing our last four End of the Year Shows. With over 15 years of experience in directing, writing, and acting in both New York and Boston, and a Masters in Theatre Education from Emerson, Ms. Kayte has a deep-rooted connection to theatre programs throughout the South Shore. She will be collaborating with a talented team of specialized teaching artists, each expertly trained in their field, to create an enriching experience for our children. With the enthusiastic support of BASE, Ms. Kayte is thrilled to bring this exciting opportunity to life. We invite families to embrace this unique initiative, as it promises to enhance their children's social-emotional and creative growth, while reinforcing the strong sense of community that BASE embodies. Let’s celebrate this shared journey of learning and exploration together!

Ms. Sam is thrilled to return this fall as part of the FUSE team!
Over the past two years, she has supported our older BASE students as a costume designer and choreographer for various plays and performances. Through her involvement in theater, Ms. Sam has continued to sharpen her skills in costuming and sewing—passions she’s eager to share with the students joining the FUSE program this year. While she doesn't come from a traditional theater background, her love for music and musical theater runs deep, and she brings that enthusiasm into every creative project.

Amy Valle brings more than 30 years of experience as a dance educator, choreographer, and performer to her work with students. She is currently a Special Education teacher at a local middle school and is pursuing her master’s degree in Special Education. Her background in education has strengthened her ability to create supportive, engaging, and inclusive learning environments where every student can grow and feel successful.
