As our families grow, so do their creative spaces.

This summer, Tenn Little Birds is proud to continue growing alongside EAST Collective, our sister creative arts studio offering theater, storytelling, music, and imaginative arts experiences for children and adults.

For Summer 2026, EAST Collective classes and camps will be hosted between Tenn Little Birds and our new EAST Collective home at Eastside Station as we continue building a vibrant creative community in East Nashville.

This March, join us for theater classes for all ages!

Story Players 

Dates: Starting June 8th | Time: 4:30p - 5:15p

Ages: K - 2nd Grade  | Tuition: $300

Story Players is a playful, drop-off theater class for kindergarten–2nd grade students who love stories, imagination, and creative play.

Through theater games, movement, improvisation, and collaborative storytelling, children explore how stories are built — and how to bring them to life using their voices, bodies, and ideas. Each class follows a familiar rhythm so kids feel confident, supported, and excited to participate.

This class focuses on creativity, confidence, listening, and teamwork rather than memorization or pressure to perform. Students will co-create short scenes together and share their work in a light, informal way at the end of the session.
