Musical Theater Classes

Does your child love being the center of attention? Do they love to sing and act? Are they shy but want to make new friends and learn more about being on a stage? Then our Musical Theater classes will be a great fit for them!

Over the past 15 years, the students in our Musical Theater programs have performed over  100 performances for our community.  Our students range in age from 4-18, and we have many students that have been a part of our program and are now continuing their theater training in community theaters, landing leads in their Middle and High School productions, and continuing their theater education at the college level.

As part of our program, students are taught all aspects of being a part of a full musical theater production.  In the beginning of the session we take them through the audition process so they know what may be expected of them when they not only audition for us, but for other theater opportunities.  They are then cast in a role in our current production, and learn theater terminology, acting skills, characterization, and even Improv techniques that will be helpful for them in their performance.  Along with acting, children also learn choreography for musical numbers that are crowd pleasing and FUN! Most important of all, by participating in our program our students learn the importance of working as a team as well as build their own self-confidence along the way to help them blossom into the person they were born to be!

Note: Students who were part of our spring 2020 classes had scheduled musicals cancelled due to Covid-19. Plans to resume rehearsals and make-up musical dates are in the works. 

New season will consist from October-April with performances in April/May instead of a Fall performance, with the exception of VPK Class

Stay tuned for more updates

Elementary (Fall/Spring)

2nd through 5th Grade

Honk, Jr

Note: Elementary Classes will now be on Tuesdays instead of Wednesdays

Honk! Jr. is a heartwarming celebration of being different that is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit, unique charm and memorable score. Witty and hilarious, but also deeply moving, Honk! Jr. will treat your audiences to equal amounts of laughter and tears. The main character, Ugly, looks quite a bit different than his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother’s protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and discovers that being different is not a bad thing to be.

Middle & High School (Fall/Spring)

Matilda, Jr

Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the “revolting children” who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.

Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence… and special powers! She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however – the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils’ saving grace!
