Theatre Studies

Come Join The Magic Of Theatre ~ You Can Be A Star!

Our theatre curriculum provides classes and special events which allow children and youth many opportunities to be instructed in the art of acting as well as production. This season we will offer outstanding directors who have toured nationally and internationally in theatre and opera.

Below is a listing of what we offer in theatre. We encourage students to become involved in more than one of these activities. Our activities require a registration and are based on first-come, first-serve as class sizes are limited.
