Open Now: Keegan Aftercare Registration Open Now: Keegan Aftercare Registration

Keegan PLAY-RAH-KA is offering After School Theatre Enrichment classes to Ross Elementary students in Pre-K4 through 5th grade. Students will work as an ensemble to explore the world around them and focus on the use of their voices, bodies, and imaginations in a series of games and exercises to learn the art of theatrical storytelling. Classes will occur weekly throughout the fall semester on Tuesdays (Pre-K4 & Kindergarten), Thursdays (1st & 2nd grade), and Fridays (3rd-5th grade) from 3:15-5 PM. The cost of this enrichment program is $35 per class, and an extended day/late pickup option is available. Please note that these classes will cover the first two DCPS terms (quarters) and thus run from the first week of September through the third week of January. Please check the calendar on the registration page for full lists of dates for the programs. All of the dates will also be included in the introductory emails that registered families will receive prior to the start of classes.

The registration links listed below are now live:


  • Pre-K4 & Kindergarten
  • 1st & 2nd Grade
  • 3rd-5th Grade


Enrollment is on a first come first serve basis. Please register your child(ren) before the week of September 1st to participate. You will receive a confirmation email from the Sawyer registration portal when you enroll as well as a detailed email from Keegan PRK before the beginning of classes so you know exactly what to expect. If there isn't space for your child at this time, you can sign up for the waitlist at the same registration link. We are actively monitoring our waitlist enrollment and will determine if we can add concurrent sections for each class based on those numbers. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and thank you all for your continued enthusiasm for Keegan PLAY-RAH-KA programs.
