Classes for Youth

Classes are full of opportunity and wonder as young theatre enthusiasts go on adventures, build confidence, creatively explore, make new friends, and share new skills with loved ones. Each class is designed to embrace those new to the stage and to challenge those with performance experience. All classes conclude with a sharing component for families.

Finances should never prevent a student from pursuing their passion! That is why we are pleased to offer partial scholarships for students of all ages.
