## Birthday Shows

Party venue · Ages 3–16

YADA (Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts) hosts birthday parties at its Third Street theatre studio in the Fairfax district, where the birthday child and guests perform a mini themed musical or concert show. The parties come in three package tiers. YADA is a youth musical theatre program founded in 1997. Its classes include improv and sketch for ages 3 to 13 and up, a Winnie The Pooh show class for ages 3 to 7, and youth productions such as Les Miserables for ages 6 to 16 and Cabaret for ages 9 to 16. The show is the center of the afternoon, which suits a group of children who like to sing, act and perform rather than play games. The studio is indoors.
