In this class, our “youngest” young artists will be introduced to the basics of singing, dancing and acting with fun activities focused on building creativity and exploring imagination, all while learning how to work and play in harmony with others. With a foundation in music, movement and speech, this class will help young artists grow in confidence and self-esteem. It will also strengthen their communication, social and developmental skills, and all with the support of a welcoming and inclusive community. Our Mini Musical Theatre class is offered in two sessions. Families who commit to both sessions will receive a discount on tuition. Both terms include an opportunity to perform on stage with the help from their instructors and our older students!

Young artists will learn the fundamentals of acting, including physical movement, vocal expression, and clarity of thought and speech. We focus on enhancing their communication and storytelling abilities, teaching students how to express ideas and emotions with authenticity on stage.

ADULT MUSICAL THEATRE *New!*
Fall Term (10 Weeks)
Ages 18 and up | Wednesdays | 7:30-8:30pm | $195
Looking to find your creative-spark? Looking to hone your skills singing and dancing with friends? Maybe you’re inspired by your young artist in their classes and want to try too! We’ve got you covered with Adult Musical Theatre!
As adult performers, we have found it difficult to find local musical theatre classes that continue to develop our skills with a fun group we can feel at home with, and so we decided to create one ourselves. We are proud of the welcoming and joyful community we’ve created, and this extends to our adult community as well! Designed for enthusiastic beginners and experienced performers alike, this course offers coaching in all three disciplines of musical theatre, and our experienced instructors will tailor the course to support you and your goals. And what’s more, we guarantee you’re going to have a great time! Our YA community is a fun and supportive group, and might just be exactly what you’ve been looking for. 1 hour, once a week, for 10 weeks. That’s not so scary, is it?
