Questions and Answers
Does my child need theater experience?

Not at all! Beginners are absolutely welcome. We create a supportive environment where shy, nervous, and first-time performers can grow alongside experienced kids.
What will my child do during rehearsal?
2
Students spend the rehearsal:
Acting, Singing, Dancing, Learning choreography, Making crafts and props

Rehearsing for the final performance
Every child is included in the production experience.
How do auditions work?
Will every child get a role?
3
We will send out audition material a month before the semester begins so students have time to prepare. Auditions consist of a 30 second dance routine, a 30 second song choice, and “sides” or part of a scene, that they can memorize. We will provide directions so students can videotape themselves and send in their song and sides ahead of time. The audition process is part of their learning experience. We will help your student every step of the way. We run auditions as an open workshop so we can cheer for each other and celebrate the bravery it takes to perform for any size crowd.
Yes! Every student is cast in the show and participates in the final performances.
