Spring 2026 Musical Theater Classes

Spring 2026 Classes

20th Anniversary Season

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. Over the past 20 years, the students in our Musical Theater programs have performed over 100 performances for our community.

VERY IMPORTANT

Before you register, please confirm with your child’s school and/or any after school activities for possible conflicts with rehearsal times and show dates. The most important week for our team and actors is tech and show week (the week of the show). When students are absent that week, it can be difficult to run things smoothly. However, if we know in advance, we will try our best to be flexible and plan ahead.

Our students range in age from preschool to high school, and everything in between. We are proud to have had many of our students who have been a part of our program continuing their theater training in community theaters, landing leads in their school productions, and continuing their theater education at the college level and beyond.

As part of our program, students are taught all aspects of being a part of a full musical theater production. At the beginning of the session, we take them through the audition process so they know what may be expected of them when they audition for us and 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 importantly, by participating in our program our students understand the importance of working as a team and build their self-confidence along the way to help them blossom into the person they were born to be!

We look forward to welcoming you (or welcoming you back!) to our theater family!

Mix in two lovebirds on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and a sleepy chaperone, and you have the ingredients for a show that will have everyone laughing.

NOTE FOR ALL CLASSES

Before registering for ANY classes, please be aware that if your child is involved in other activities with their elementary, middle & high school during our tech week or important rehearsals prior, for if they miss more than three unexcused absences, their part may be released to another cast member, or they could be removed from a musical number. It is very difficult for the other students when their team members are not present during not only tech rehearsals, but each week, as well. (We know we have said this multiple times, but it is just super important to help our classes run smoothly- all students and their individual roles are important to the flow of the show, and when just one child is missing and we are working on choreography or blocking, it can be hard for them to make up with after repeated absences.)
