Are you looking for a fun and interactive program that will strengthen the bonds between you and your loved ones? Look no further than Families in the Spotlight!
What It Is
Families in the Spotlight is a program for the whole family – from the littlest baby to the oldest elder and everyone in between.
At Families in the Spotlight, we sing, dance, learn lines, don costumes and characters, and work on entrances and exits, lighting, sound, and bits of business to put together a show for our audience.

But it’s not just about putting on a great show. After the performance and the after party, we take time to debrief, reflect, and share our feelings about the intense collaboration that was required to mount the show. Through this process, we help families build stronger relationships, a better understanding of their family purpose and wonderful memories.

How It Works
At FITS, we believe that social lessons are most successfully taught with all age groups present. That’s why our program provides inter-generational learning experiences that are accessible to all ages.
The whole family benefits from being with the leaders as we play and create together all the while learning social lessons about how to collaborate with one another and grow as caring beings.
There are many social lessons that are most lovingly and most successfully taught with all the age groups, the full human spectrum of development at play. Opportunities for social experiences that are designed to support inter-generational learning are not very common in our culture, yet they provide great benefits for all ages.
Through the FITS program, families develop an understanding of…
- each others play signals
- greater social interaction skills
- limitations and abilities based on development
- closing the generational gap
FITS provides a series of games increasing gently and gradually in intensity that are accessible to all ages. Our games harken back to our hunter-gatherer days where competition was not misused but confined to play. We teach everyone how to ask permission to play, how to play with anyone, no matter their age. We discover that learning happens through play.
Our Team
Our team of leaders treats everyone with mutual respect and this creates a group bond that lifts everyone up to meet the challenge of show day.
All of our leaders go through our LAUNCH Youth Leadership program. Where youth leaders take part in deep self-reflection, self-expression, experiential learning, and leadership exercises. They learn developmental models, Satir Family Dynamics, communication skills, and coaching techniques.
They take what they’ve learned and apply it to a real-world situation by supporting the families participating in the FITS program. LAUNCH youth leaders present opportunities to discover unique family identity, purpose, goals, and how to understand one-another, helping them to explore their creativity in therapeutic, life-changing ways.
