The Junior Stars pre-professional program is an intensive education in theatre with an emphasis on musical theatre, ensemble work, and audition technique. This program is geared to students in 3rd-5th grades. While our year will focus on group training, there will also be some private instruction tailored to student needs.
The Dream Team was created for advanced and dedicated performers in middle school who aspire to pursue a career in the performing arts. Dream Team training includes comprehensive theatre education from Broadway and Professional Teaching Artists, with an emphasis on musical theatre, ensemble work, and audition technique. In addition to group classes, students will receive 1-on-1 instruction in a supportive and fun learning environment. Dream Team students will showcase their work for family and friends in the fall and spring.
The All Stars Troupe is for performers who want to take their craft to the next level. By working closely with Broadway and Professional Teaching Artists, All Stars students will develop their acting, singing and dance skills through classes, rehearsals, and mock auditions. Classes will include Acting Technique for Theater/Film & TV, Audition Prep, Ensemble Creation & Collaboration, Voice & Performance, as well as various styles of classes in Singing and Dancing. In addition to group classes, students will receive 1-on-1 instruction in a supportive and fun learning environment. ​
